I heard that Amisulpride doesn't have the A.P. effect at low doses this sounds appealing to me, especially since it's also supposed to have disinhibitory properties as well. Which should help my social anxiety.
Thank you all for your caring and quick responses. I wish you all health and happiness.

> > I gave Zyprexa a try as an augmenter. Also to stop my ruminating thoughts. After seeing how it has helped my Mom I really had high hopes. I really am hesitant to say this for fear that it may upset someone. The only word that comes close to the way I felt is, lobotomized. Lithium and Verapamil made me feel the same way. Anyone else experience this feeling or am I so far gone that nothing will help me? By the way, My Mother seems better than I have ever seen her in my life, since she has been on Zyprexa, Respiridal and Effexor combo.
