Relationship between antipsychotic medication and aggressive events in patients with a psychotic disorder hospitalized for treatment

Conclusions

In aggressive behaviors conducted by patients with a psychotic disorder under antipsychotic medication, the dopamine D2-Receptor affinity seems to have a high impact on the target of aggression. However, more studies are needed to investigate the anti-aggressive effects of individual antipsychotic agents.

If im reading that part correctly. It says. D2 affinity medication results in higher vulnerability correlation to agression than other antipsyhcotics if relapse occurs?

Basically the more affinity a med has for the d2 receptor the less chance of aggression.

I did not read the complete study. I feel haldol may calm aggression in the short run. But I feel haldol made me more aggressive in the long run. I was not a violent person before antipsychotics. E.g. I did not fight back when someone raped me or threatened my kid, but just politely removed us from the situation.

Used haldol > tight-binding AP.

In withdrawal I had weird and uncharacteristic anger attacks. In a period that I would quickly start-stop-start-stop this was even worse. My mind got messed up. I still have anger, though the longer I’m off meds, the better it gets. I am still different than before I started though.

I take two very calming meds at high doses.
