I specialize in suicidal ideations, but since starting Invega, my regularly scheduled thoughts have become very sparse. Why is Invega working where other atypicals have failed?

5-HT7 antagonism? (inverse agonist).
How did you respond to Latuda?

I dunno. SLS probably knows way more about the mechanics of this drug than I ever will...
...I say: "Enjoy it!". Don't worry about the hows and whys and underlying mechanisms...just enjoy your effective med(s)!

Aha! I have been looking into Vortioxetine. I responded very well to Latuda.

My theory is that it is potent at 5-HT1A than many antipsychotics (say, Zyprexa [olanzapine]). We all know how important 5-HT1A is in psychpharmacology.
