hey! Maybe the Risperdal? I read that you can't use Risperdal in people with severe LSD (or other hallucinogen) induced flashbacks. LSD is believed to operate in large part on serotonin. SSRIs sometimes cause a renewal of flashbacks. Apparently, Risperdal is kind of like the SSRIs in this regard; instead of treating the hallucinations, it can actually make them *worse*...my guess would be that at lower doses, the ratio of serotonin: dopamine antagonism boosts levels of serotonin considerably...at higher dosages, though, Risperdal is pretty comparable to Haloperdiol in terms of side effects, so I guess the higher dosages involve a more old-drug style reduction in both serotonin and dopamine. So...there you go; thats my theory.
