In reply to why do antipsychotics work faster than antideps?, posted by inanimate peanut on July 4, 2010, at 18:53:56
>If most of the antipsychotics work on 5HT receptors similar to most SSRIs in addition to the other work they do on D receptors, etc., why do antipsychotics work so much faster than antidepressants?
APs can certainly work rapidly to produce a sedative-type effect..... but in the treatment of serious psychotic disorders such as schizophenia, improvement in core psychotic symptoms can take several weeks.
