EPA-0937 - Association in patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia between withdrawal psychosis and antipsychotics

"Recently, dopamine supersensitivity psychosis (DSP) and tardive dyskinesia (TD), both of which could be caused by inappropriate pharmacotherapy, as typified by excessive dosages of antipsychotics, have also been presumed relevant to TRS. Several lines of evidence suggest that both DSP and withdrawal psychosis are closely linked to the supersensitivity of dopamine D2 receptors; this could be caused by a potent blockade of the receptors by antipsychotics"

There are good books on the harm of antipsychotics, one of which is The Bitterest Pills by Dr Joanna Moncrieff which I have in the house. Also look at how well patients in the Open Dialogue programme do in Finland and explain how so many do so much better without antipsychotics.

If every time you try to come off antipsychotics you suffer withdrawal psychosis, and you can't deal with the symptoms, you are dependent on them.
