In reply to Paranoia and Dopamine CamW or anyone ?, posted by janejj on December 26, 2001, at 23:29:50

Jane - As for the cause of the paranoia; it may be due to excess dopamine. I am still not convinced that Wellbutrin, at therapeutic doses, really has any significant effect on dopamine (in most people). It may be that you have sensitive dopamine receptors in your limbic system (esp. the connections to the prefrontal cortex), but this is a guess.

Since the person, who story that I related in the previous post was taking an irreversible dopamine-2 blocking agent (haloperidol) and experienced a sort of paranoia, I am not sure that dopamine changes by the Wellbutrin were to blame; but I am also not positive that it wasn't due to dopamine.

- Cam
