Buspar: dopamine agonist or antagonist? (Eliz?)

Posted by anita on January 16, 2000, at 23:03:50

Does Buspar increase or decrease dopamine, generally speaking? I've seen it labelled as one or the other in Medline -- which is it? If a study says it's a dopamine antagonist, yet goes on to say it increases dopamine in various areas of the brain, does that mean it is an antagonist at dopamine autoreceptors, and thus acts like an agonist?

Thanks,
anita
