> If you have too much dopamine in your system you act like a maniac and the doc gives you an antipsychotic.hmmm... supposedly abilify is a dopamine system stabilizer ..... i don't know if i have to wait for my antidepressant to have some kind of NE or Dopamine downregulation ........ or just 5HT
> If you have too little dopamine in your system you end up depressed. That may be your case. Have you tried going off the antipsychotic?last week i actually felt a little psychotic and depressed.... so the dopamine is getting to my thought centers, but not my pleasure centers :(
