I believe the complicated interplay between ensam and antipsychotics makes it fruitless to try to predict the end result. The people on the other boards were probably looking at it in an overly simplistic fashion. That is, ensam is going to increase dopamine but seroquel is going to block it. It just isn't that simple. Seroquel is actually increasing dopamine too, as well as blocking it, but it is doing all of this in varying degrees in different parts of the brain. And then when you introduce the interplay with serotonin and histimine, it gets totally out of the realm of prediction. And that's not to mention their unknown and complicated actionis on hormones and genes and other fine details that aren't usually discussed, many of them unknown. That's the way I see it anyway.
Ensam+seroquel might be awesome for one person and useless for another. Just saying one is going to counteract the other demonstrates a lack of respect for how complicated these drugs are.
