In reply to If Zyprexa BLOCKS dopamine, what good is it?, posted by SalArmy4me on March 29, 2001, at 4:47:38
> Risperdal, Seroquel, and Geodon do the same thing, so how is that supposed to help someone? Don't we need dopamine in our brains?
What I recently read on here is that lower doses of atypical anti-psychotics increase dopamine levels. Whereas the higher levels that are used for true schizophrenia or manic behavior slow dopamine levels down. If I am incorrect about this, please someone more knowledgeable about anti-psychotics correct me.Low dose neuroleptics increases dopamine levels. High dose neuroleptics decrease dopamine levels? Is this correct?
