Re: Something new to try (Abilify)

[Guest guest]

Sorry to say, but you're stupid. This is BY FAR the worst drug ever made! Don't

know if you've been in a mental hospital, but this drug causes people to commit

suicide, tremors, akathesia, sexual dysfunction, depression. The list is

endless. And on top of that, it causes over time a 5% brain cell loss (15%

shrinkage of the brain and only 10% higher neuron density). You don't want this.

I almost killed myself after 1 dose of 10mg. The internal restless was SO bad

that I didn't care to die, even knowing that it would subside.

Partial agonist doesn't mean it raises dopamine in some areas and lowers it in

other areas. It means it stimulates the dopamine receptor, but the response is

lower then actual dopamine.

Low concentrations will stimulate dopamine, but higher concentrations will

occupy most receptors, so dopamine can't bind anymore, so cause of the lower

response, dopamine transmission is attenuated. And therapeutic doses are high

enough to attenuate dopamine.

And it does that IN EVRY REAGON where D2 is expressed.
