Dopamine super sensitivity psychosis

Yea I read about that, its why you can get a worse psychosis after stopping meds than before first being put on meds.

The dopamine theory makes partial sense.

If it was purely down to dopamine you would think aps would have an immediate effect; like when you take a benzo to chill out

But no…it takes weeks for psychosis to subside for some

I think sleep hygiene is the biggest factor preceding a psychotic episode

this is in rats not humans, but still encouraging,

Chronic treatment with aripiprazole prevents development of dopamine supersensitivity and potentially supersensitivity psychosis. - Abstract - Europe PMC
