enhancing and decreasing the same neurotransmitter

Posted by Sigolène on July 17, 2002, at 2:06:10

There is something i don't understand. Maybe semeone can explain me.
When they prescribe an antipsychotic (risperdal) together with an AD, they have the opposite effect. One is increasing 5 HT, the other is decreasing it !
The same when you have antipsychotic with ritalin, on is increasing dopamine, the other is decreasing it.
How can these meds be prescribed together ?
