Hi oracle,
There seems to have been some misunderstanding regarding my previous message, but you are absolutely right about the need to be cautious with drugs affecting dopamine. That is also the reason I don't take such substances, even though these are the meds which would make a difference in my case. On an old AP I have developed dystonia, TD and parkinsonism and one cannot assume that taking a newer one would guarantee no neurological problems. For people who must take dopamine blockers, however, the new atypicals can be considered a blessing, since the risks are reduced. For others, perhaps it is really better to look for substitutes and hope they work.
As for the "government plot", taking drugs to increase the effect of dopamine simply for pleasure (if I understood correctly) is not a good idea :)
