Actually I cannot support this assertion with literature. I wish I could. I have searched high and low for the facts, but they aren't anywhere to be found. Other people here at this board though who are more knowledgeable than me have stated that though. Also, comments from people at this board on low doses point to a stimulating type of response, which is indicitive of increased dopamine activity. I know for sure that my 5mg dose of Zyprexa is stimulating. I tried 10mg once and it felt like it was undoing all the good stuff that the 5mg did. I could feel the dual action depending on which dose I took.I wish I had some literature. Sorry.
John
