Why do some Antipsychotics look similar to Riboflavin? The image I attached to this thread is Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) and stumping upon a few Antipsychotics, they have a similar "backbone". Is it a coincidence?

yeah probably

Usually in biochem, similar structures allow compounds to act as antagonists to each other. So Riboflavin likely competes with psychosis inducing compounds for receptors or something.

From what I know, psychosis is usually caused by imbalance in neurotransmitters. Someone more educated than I could probably go into more detail, but It's definitely not a coincidence.

OP Here. I didn't know if Riboflavin had any effect on Psychosis and Antipsychotics tend to be Antagonists of the Serotonin 5HT2A Receptors.
>>
>>9080917
You mean they tend to be D2 antagonists?

5HT2A is implicated in depression tho.
>>
>>9080917
Actually the common effect of all antipsychotics is antagonism of the D2 receptor. Only the newer ones block 5HT2A

Okay, but why do some Antipsychotics (i.e. Promazine) look similar to B2.

>Vitamin B2 does not have Sulfur unlike those Antipsychotics. This is something I've noticed.

Nah, bro. Medfags stay in business by keeping their clients unhealthy. If anything psychotic behavior is the result of some med-orchestrated vitamin deficiency. Really just eat your fruits and veggies, though.
