>If most of the antipsychotics work on 5HT receptors similar to most SSRIs in addition to the other work they do on D receptors, etc., why do antipsychotics work so much faster than antidepressants?

APs can certainly work rapidly to produce a sedative-type effect..... but in the treatment of serious psychotic disorders such as schizophenia, improvement in core psychotic symptoms can take several weeks.
