Aren't dopaminergic drugs dopamine agonists? :)
It's true- an excess of this neurotransmitter creates, among other problems, some kind of "high" which feels evil due to its abnormality.
As for APs, the shutting down of thoughts and emotions depends on the problem and the dosage. In cases in which overstimulation causes emotional blunting and a sense of being "out of it", a very low dose of an AP can actually allow the person to regain access to emotions (not that it's so easy:)) and to feel somewhat "real" again. On higher doses it will cause a shutdown of everything, I guess.
