Studies show that Zyprexa by itself increases NE and DA significantly, while having negligible effect on serotonin. When combined with SSRIs, it generally increases NE and DA significantly more than by itself, and serotonin just a little bit more than the SSRI by itself. It varies depending on the other med. With Zoloft it increased only DA. Other comparitive APs made similar changes, but not as dramatic as Zyprexa did.
Who knows. It's all theory. I personally believe Zyprexa is the best of the bunch, with maybe Abilify being the second best. Sometimes vica versa. While the others can be miracles for a small percentage of people, their track records don't appear to be in the same class as Zyprexa. It is in a class of its own.
