title = "Effect of neuroleptic withdrawal on plasma prolactin: A possible marker of receptor adaptation",
abstract = "Stable schizophrenic and schizoaffective outpatients underwent abrupt withdrawal from a fixed dose of neuroleptic. Prolactin concentrations were determined preceding and following drug withdrawal. Basal prolactin concentrations were significantly lower 3, 4, or 5 days following drug withdrawal than on subsequent days. This rebound effect may be related to dopaminergic receptor changes in the tuberoinfundibular system that are induced by chronic neuroleptic administration.",
