Final answer:

Prozac, LSD, ecstasy, and methamphetamine affect the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prozac, LSD, ecstasy, and methamphetamine affect the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain.

Prozac works by inhibiting the reuptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin, increasing its concentration in the synapse.

LSD affects the serotonin system as well, mimicking its structure and binding to its receptors.

Ecstasy (MDMA) affects multiple neurotransmitters, including serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.

Methamphetamine increases the release and inhibits the reuptake of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin.
