Interesting. So mescaline is a 5-HT2 inhibitor. Makes you wonder if mescaline would make a good antidepressant, probably at doses less than those used to cause hallucinations.
Unfortunately, I was unable to figure out what effect abilify's affinity for D2 receptors could potentially have on depression. My previous pdoc seemed to think that abilify's dopaminergic effects work to elevate mood, but I am not convinced. And this article did not settle the issue for me.
