Sorry, dumb of me not to include the names.
Yes, JohnL says the same about the uniqueness of amisulpride, but mentions in many posts zyprexa and risperdal (sp?) as a possible alternative. It seems many of the reliable overseas pharmacies are being pressured by the FDA into refusing the sale of amisulpride, though it is not a controlled substance. Anyhoo, do you have any comment on the two AntiP's mentioned?
Thanks again in advance.....john
