Risperdal for GAD?

Posted by chess on December 13, 2006, at 10:25:07

Can someone explain to me why a neuroleptic like Risperdal would be useful for GAD? Neuroleptics BLOCK the effects of serotonin and dopamine, but my doctor said that neuroleptics actually stimulate the release of serotonin and that its action on dopamine is what works for anxiety.
