> > What effects does Seroquel have on 5-HT1a receptors? Another poster suggested that it was an antagonist. A few Medline abstracts suggested it was an agonist. My girlfriend is experiencing a robust and sustained antidepressant effect from Seroquel 700mg. I have become interested in trying this myself. According to the BNN newsletter, a recent study determined that Seroquel monotherapy 300-600mg was effective for treating bipolar depression. Interesting.
> Nearly everything I have found says Seroquel is a 5-HT1A agonist which is supposed to be valuable in treating psychosis.
Thanks for checking on that, Panda. I'm surprised that combining Buspar with an AP isn't more common. Have you ever heard of this? Maybe Buspar would help out with negative symptoms. Just thinking out loud...
