Here is a paper I found on some kidney d2 knock-out mice...

PLOS ONE: Deficient Dopamine D2 Receptor Function Causes Renal Inflammation Independently of High Blood Pressure

So no d2 in the kidney and BP increases....I don't know specifically which BP meds she was talking about though...
It might not have been blood pressure meds then. I can't remember specifically what she said because I wasn't really paying attention. XD

Is there a difference between how atypicals affect blood pressure or is it all the same? I was on Abilify at the time so I think she was referring to that.

Chem was my least favorite subject in case you couldn't tell haha.
