This is going to sound crazy but I happened to be watching day time TV and there was a Soap where some guy was slipping an anti-psychotic into this chic’s OJ every day. This chic was a “normal” person and after a week or so she has this psychotic break. Some doctor on the soap says, “Don’t you know that someone who is not psychotic will become psychotic, if you give them an anti-psychotic?
Well, I thought it was a load of bunk, but asked a pdoc anyway. And of course he said NO. But went on to say that giving someone an anti-psychotic who isn't psychotic would give them Parkinson’s disease. He said that Schizophrenics have too much dopamine and people with Parkinson's have too little dopamine. I left his office mulling this over. I thought, maybe there’s a theory that when a person does not get Parkinson's when taking anti-psychotics it means they must have some sort of psychotic disorder. An anti-psychotic, plus a mood stabilizer and often an anti-depressant is the typical drug regiment for bipolar. So, I also wondered if people who have bipolar have too much dopamine too?
