I know the AAPs hit a bunch of other receptors etc but their main function is still to block the D receptors, right?

Be advised that my insight here sees that the combination of drugs being taken by the poster here could cause death. Death by serotonin syndrome. Death by CNS depression. The question here is if this combination of chemicals truley do help with MDD and that the poster requests insight on medication. Seeing into this situation and the insight that I have here IMHHHO could save lives, prevent life-ruining conditions and addictions. I see so much here, but I am prevented from posting a lot of informational facts due to the prohibitions posted to me here by Mr Hsiung.
