A member asked:
There wont be any dopaminergic receptors as they are blocked by other drugs...is it not the correct answer??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Drugs that block dopamine receptors do not do so 100%. We need dopamine in our system to function normallly. Dopamine blockers are given to people that have too much dopamine around to decrease the dopamine back to a normal level, not to get rid of it entirely.
