How do medications for schizophrenia work?!
Question: What do they do to the brain?
Answers: What do they do to the brain?
they decrease dopamine in brain. (also dopamine decreases prolactin a hormone causing milk production so when these drugs called anti-psychotics decrease dopamine the negative effect of dopamine on prolactin is gone hence the side effect of galactorrhoea with these antipsychotics)

schizo is usaully an imbalance of chemicals in the brain.... meds usually try to even these out... or prevent them from spiking or dropping so dramatically so that they cause behavioral changes..or even hallucination's.
They mess with the chemicals, I know I've take seraquel for bi polor but its also a schizophrinic medicine. And it made me a zombie I wasn't able to function it was horrible. But schihzophrenia is different and you need medicine for it. I just deal with bi polor even if it is really hard some times
It may be false but I was told they hassle free radicals and anhance beta blockers...whatever that means.
