S. Howard,
I didn't intend to sound like I was making a sales pitch for any particular medicine. That being said, I think if you choose Amisulpride it could be a lot more favorable to you than Paxil has been. :-) Even without knowing what type of depression you have, statistically the odds are in your favor. That's because statistically in head-to-head trials against Prozac, Amisulpride had good results. Since the serotonin route didn't work well for you, the odds have automatically increased that a different route will.Customs has never been a problem because these are not illegal or controlled substances. Twice my packages appeared to have been opened and re-sealed, and they had a green Customs label on the outside that said 'supplements'.
If you do try Amisulpride I think it would be a good idea to have some Adrafinil in your possession on a stand-by basis. It only costs about $25. The reason I say this is because it has proven to me to be a real good turbocharger of Amisulpride if Amisulpride alone doesn't work as completely as I would want it to.
Of course, this is a completely different arena. Ordering one's own medicines, self directing one's own dosing and such, is not appropriate for a lot of people. But for those of us who have chosen this route, it has been safe and effective despite the warnings of self medication. Personally I have no problem with the idea of self medication, as long as the person is well-informed of what they're doing. It's not to be done in too cavalier a fashion. Not to be done blindly.
To learn more about Amisulpride you might want to email AndrewB. He has put together a comprehensive information piece on Amisulpride. If you want to learn more about Adrafinil, let me know. I can supply you with all the info I have gathered on it.
