> Hi Andrew. Hey, nice job on the dysthymia post.
Ditto - big time.
> 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 have become very excited over the past few weeks reading posts regarding amisulpiride. I didn't even know it existed! While reading this thread, I can feel my heart racing with excitement.
My doctor is aware of this drug, and I'm sure he would be receptive to giving it a try.How do we get it?
Long, long ago... there was this compound named sulpiride that at the time was being investigated as a neuroleptic for schizophrenia. I think it was the levorotatory isomer they were looking at. Anyway, although there was little talk about it having antidepressant properties, its selectivity for presynaptic autoreceptors (which ones?) caught my eye. I have heard that sulpiride is available in Canada, but I haven't followed up on this.
Thanks for any information or suggestions.
