Hi Andrew. Hey, nice job on the dysthymia post. I found your post very informative and full of interesting things.
I tried Amisulpride once for a couple weeks. I liked it a lot. It had hardly any side effects. Dry mouth is all I remember. It energized me, made me socially comfortable. Overall significant global well-being. I'm thinking seriously of going back to it. The only reason I didn't stay with it was because it was hard to get....I couldn't get any doctor to write a precrip for it. Don't ask.
I was browsing through abstracts on hypericum one day when I came across this clinical study that determined St Johnswort strongly inhibits prolactin. Just a thought. You might want to look into that. With or without depression, St Johnswort might be a good companion with Amisulpride. Even if it didn't help depressive symptoms at all, it would counteract the prolactin increase of Amisulpride. But it might even help the dysthymia a bit. Just thought you might find prolactin inhibition by St Johnswort interesting. JohnL
