How Soon Is Lower Serotonin Measured After Agonists?

[Waynish]

For antagonists and agonists, respectively - and in what parts of the body is serotonin reduced by what degree? Blood vs gut vs brain, etc. Has anyone found good studies for this question?

I would like to apply the same question to those.

But it doesnt make sense. A Serotonin agonist doesn't lower Serotonin, it raises it

I'll change the title but LSD, for example, is more often classified as a serotonin agonist.

An agonist typically describes activation at a receptor doesn’t it ? This should not increase Serotonin overall, it just helps efficiency. Blocking a Serotonin transporter raises it more than a strict agonist. 5htp and tryptophan raise it via substrate.
