How is this paradoxical? These findings do not condradict earlier findings suggesting the drug increases frontal cortex dopamine content.

The reductions in the d1, d2 receptors are consistant with most dopaminergic drugs. Just like the SSRI's cause downregulation in certain serotonin receptors. Downregulation is indicitive of greater functionality of the dopamine system.
