> I meant that some people get an enhanced response to their antidepressant regimen from an adjunctive antipsychotic (AP). It does not make much intuitive sense, but some APs are officially approved for this use, which suggests that it is not unsual for this to be better than placebo.

>Yes, it does not make much intuitive sense to me. Does it simply add an oomph of A/D on its own? Does it actually work synergistically with Nardil? Or, does it work to prevent hypomania/mania, in which case does it also blunt the energetic qualities of Nardil? And finally, maybe it is prescribed to remedy side effects such as insomnia. I dont know.
As you can probably tell, I am very ignorant in regards to psych meds and how they work. I guess thats why Im here :)
Thanks for your help!
