A friend of mine who has schizoaffective disorder (bipolar type), found asenapine to produce a stable antidepressant response with a more or less global improvement, including cognition and memory.

>Serotonin antagonism; 5-HT2A and -2C. Histamine H2-antagonism. Maybe serotonin 5-HT5 and -6. I would say 5-HT7 too, but I've tested that with lurasidone and I noticed no improvement.
> Do not pass up asenapine unless you have reason to believe that it would be unsafe. I don't know why asenapine has been so neglected.
