" Specifically, where aripiprazole has an intrinsic activity or agonist effect at the D2 receptor of 60%+, brexpiprazole has an intrinsic activity at the same receptor of about 45%. For aripiprazole, this means more dopamine receptor activation at lower doses, with blockade being reached at higher doses, whereas brexpiprazole is the opposite. "


Am I reading this right?

Say I were to switch to another medication... Would my D2 receptor just become more and more blocked as the medication goes through several half lives? If it reached a low low percent after several half lives, would the D2 receptor eventually be activated again?
