> Zyprexa acts as a full agonist at the D2 recptor. Therefore, it would seem that any advantages offered by Abilify's partial agonist mechanism would be drowned by Zyprexa's full agonist mechanism.
I imagine you meant to say "Zyprexa's full antagonist mechanism".
I had thought about that, but Abilify binds to the D2 receptor much more tightly than Zyprexa, so I don't think Zyprexa would knock Abilify loose from postsynaptic receptors.
