Dear Cam,


> It is probably their mood stabilizing effects that augment antidepressant activity.

I don't buy this. I think their potential as adjuncts lie in a more direct antidepressant effect. My guess is that some ratio of 5-HT2/DA2 antagonism works to potentiate dopaminergic activity "downstream". This would account for some of the latency I have seen once an immediate improvement wanes, only to return three to four weeks later. Besides reading of others' descriptions, I have some "insiders" information.

I am not the drug guy. I am the wild guess guy.
