Serotonin vs Dopamine

[BigMatt]

At 24 years old i was Diagnosed with Paranoid Squizophrenia.

I currently take Invega Sustena Injections(1 each 28 days).

Is it a dopamine antagonist and 5-HT2A antagonist.

It block dopamine receptors and Serotonin Receptors.

The thing is that medication has serious side effects.

1. It block Dopamine and serotonin receptors

2.It Increase Prolactin.

3.It has Parkinson Promoting factor.

4.How can i lower Prolactin? Tru diet or supplements?

I suspect i have HIGH dopamine levels and LOW Serotonin levels.


The question i have for you guys is this.

1.What is the difference in Feel between Dopamine and Serotonin? How do they make you feel between the two?


2. I read 5htp increase Serotonine levels?

Since i dont suspect i have low dopamine levels but low levels of serotonin how should i go about this?


3.Diet affect Neurotransmitter levels. How should i go about this?


Thank you guys.

You should probably not try to fix your own neurochemistry if you truly are a schizophrenic. Diet effects all these variables, supplementing against prolactin is feasible but Pharma drugs like dostinex will really mess with your neurochem

I can only answer the feeling of dopamine/seratonin

Dopamine- ready to go, high energy, feel productive, confidence

Seratonin- overall happiness, productivity, dictates how strongly you love someone or certain things

You need to discuss this with a doctor or someone more knowledgeable. I do know that paliperidone is a drug not to mess with unless absolutely needed.

There are many factors that play into that condition, and I wouldn't want to start introducing things to lower or increase other things without knowing for sure the effect it is going to have.
