Do antipsychotics work region specific?
31. Male. 5'5".77 kg. Taking invega sustenna 150 mg monthly depot since June 2024 and taloprex since last week.
My doctor says invega works region specific and won't affect dopamine activity in regions like prefrontal cortex. But AI says it blocks dopamine throughout the brain. Who is correct?

Hi, the doctor is correct. It's a second generation antipsychotic. So they have less blockade in the prefrontal cortex.
