Neurotransmitter uptake inhibitor

A neurotransmitter uptake inhibitor is a drug which inhibits the reuptake of the neurotransmitter, thus extending the duration of its effect.

v • d • e Receptor agonists and antagonists (and reuptake inhibitors)
Dopamine receptor	Dopamine agonist - Dopamine antagonist - Dopamine reuptake inhibitor
5-HT (serotonin) receptor	Serotonin receptor agonist - Serotonin antagonist (5-HT₃ antagonist) - Serotonin uptake inhibitor (SSRI)
Adrenergic receptor	adrenergic agonist (Adrenergic alpha-agonist, Beta2-adrenergic receptor agonist) - adrenergic antagonist (Alpha blocker, Beta blocker) - Adrenergic uptake inhibitor
Acetylcholine receptor	cholinergic (Muscarinic agonist, Nicotinic agonist) - anticholinergic (Muscarinic antagonist, Nicotinic antagonist) - Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor
Histamine receptor	Histamine agonist - Histamine antagonist (H₁, H₂)
GABA receptor	GABA agonist - GABA antagonist
