What Is Paliperidone?

How Paliperidone Works

Paliperidone works by balancing several neurotransmitters in the patients’ brains. It can affect the production of serotonin and dopamine. Serotonin plays a key role in regulating mood and anxiety, while dopamine is important for functions of the central nervous system, such as motivation, mood, attention, pleasure, and movement. By restoring the balance of those elements in the brain, paliperidone would reduce some mental issues. These include unpredictable and disorganized behavior, disorganized speech and thinking, hallucinations, as well as delusions. [2]
