The section on side effects and receptor types is also fairly standard. The problem I have alway had is most receptor and neurotransmitter research is done on rat neurons ... obviously experiments on human neurons is next to impossible. And we really only know about 5% of the neuro transmitters in the brain. I think we will see alot of theories change in the next few years.
Scientists and doctors have a funny saying which I think maybe true, "Human's will never be so smart to understand all the details of our own brain." That is, the human brain is so amazing, so complicated ... it would be hard to image we will be able figure our own brain out.
Of all the augmentation stragies, I have seen a few trends. I have not heard of many sucess stories with buspar and pindolol. I have heard and seen many people improved vastly with the new antipsychotics. The question is it worth the weight gain and risk of tardive dyskinesia.
