OCD and dopamine

Posted by Matt on January 14, 1999, at 19:10:27

What are the effects on OCD of just lowering dopamine levels? I know the SSRIs do this via raising serotonin, but what should happen to OCD symptoms if just the dopamine levels are lowered. I know that Clozapine can bring on OC-type symptoms, but I don't know the exact mechanism of this.

Thanks

Matt
