>Surprisingly, given that all these drugs are dopamine antagonists, they are usually not dysphoriant, except perhaps at doses where they also produce various (other) Parkinsonisms. As a matter of fact, some neuroleptics can even have antidepressant effects, especially at low doses; aripiprazole is one of them.
