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?

Doctor, can reducing the physical symptoms of anxiety also help reduce psychological anxiety or fear?

Hyperspeamia

I took finasteride 1 mg started stopped and the started and then finally stopped(took it for 10 days) and had a prolonged arousal which erectile Dysfunction and hyperspeamia (high semen volume). Erectile Dysfunction is gone but hyperspeamia is  still there it has been 14 days .When will my hyperspeamia go away and why this happened?

Clarification

Hello Doctor, I would like your guidance. Today was my first day at a new company. About two hours before reaching the company, I took 20 mg of Inderal by splitting a 40 mg tablet. I have social anxiety and performance anxiety. Usually, when I have to talk to female colleagues or seniors, my heart beats very fast and I struggle to speak. Today, I still felt a little nervous when I met a female colleague, but my heart did not race, and I was able to speak calmly instead of talking very fast. I also felt much less afraid while talking to my seniors. This made me feel much more confident. Based on this experience, I realized that if my anxiety is controlled, I can perform much better. Does this mean Inderal is helping with my performance anxiety? Is it safe or appropriate to use Inderal 20 mg before important work situations, or should it only be taken under a doctor's specific instructions? I cannot afford a paid consultation at the moment, so I would be very grateful for your guidance.

Clarification

Doctor, does Inderal 20 mg or Inderal 40 mg work for performance anxiety? Please help me. I have no money for a medical consultation. I'm asking for your guidance on humanitarian grounds. Thank you.
