Hi all. The heart among more has dopamine receptors. When using antipsychotic (AP) drugs dopamine receptors throughout the body get agonized, sometimes partially antagonized. It also affects other receptors like serotonin and histamine sometimes.
Friend has recurrent pain below the left chest, a little bit below the heart area ever since having quit AP drugs cold turkey. He didn't use it for long, just a month daily. He first was on Risperidone (Risperdal) and then switched to Aripiprazole (Abilify). Aripiprazole is a partial dopamine agonist with antagonizing dopamine effects too. He quit the aripiprazole cold turkey. Sometimes he suffers from mild imagery of things flashing in a rapid speed in his mind with his eyes closed (preliminary antipsychotic induced psychosis type symptom) due to quitting the drug. He didn't suffer this before having used AP drugs so he's certain it's the drugs that caused it. He had it a lot during withdrawal of the Aripiprazole.
He really wishes to heal his dopamine receptors in his heart so that things are normal again.
I hope anyone here can help out.
Thanks.
