Drugs that increase extracellular levels of dopamine, e.g., cocaine, amphetamine, PCP, MAOIs can induce schizophrenia-like symptoms or exacerbate those with schizophrenia, whereas drugs that deplete DA levels or competitively block DA receptors or reduce DA release generally reduce the symptoms in schizophrenics. Some schizophrenics have higher density of DA receptors than normal individuals in some areas of the brain.
