The behavioral and biochemical effects of lithium on dopaminergic agonist-induced supersensitivity.

abstract：RATIONALE:Second-generation antipsychotics are the first-line medications prescribed for schizophrenic patients; however, some of them, such as olanzapine and risperidone, may induce metabolic dysfunctions during short-term treatment. Metformin is an effective adjuvant that attenuates antipsychotic-induced metabolic dy...
