Inducing Scizhophrenia

No.12519820 ViewReplyOriginalReport
If schizophrenic symptoms are treated by blockade of the dopamine receptor (typically D2) would it be possible to induce schizophrenia by taking an anti-psychotic drug that blocks this receptor for a long time, thus causing the brain to grow additional receptors and up-regulate production of dopamine? Would a normal person who takes this drug for a long period of time experience mild schizophrenia-like symptoms upon stopping?
