That's all we've got.i dunno... i went to a really good doctor after being on valporate with poor results (like euphoria and depression several times a day) and he just said "you need some dopamine antagonism", asked me to choose between zyprexa, risperdal and seroquel, and everything was fine. i don't know how he knew this. it certainly doesn't seem to be published anywhere. and i was not believed to be psychotic at all.
