>>I tried amisulpride low dose for 3.5 weeks, for mild dysthymia which accomanies my otherwise well treated primary generalized social phobia.
I had dystonic reactions at low dose. I was somewhat illiterate that I was "at risk", and my overeagerness to act on the research I *had* done was in retrospect a mistake.<<

I'm not trying to challenge you Ray, but I'm wordering why you now think people with compromised dopamine systems are at a greater risk for dystonic reactions? Are you basing this solely on your own reaction, or have you found new research to support your claim? Studies done on Amisulpride for dysthymia seem to support it's effectiveness and safety, and I think it would be pretty safe to assume that the people who receive most benefit from this med have compromised dopamine systems. Reason I ask is I've been very interested in Amisulpride, as it seems like it would be a great med for me, and I was thinking of ordering it soon. I'd hate to turn away a med that may benefit me, but I think I'd hate dystonia a lot more. Can you give me all the info you have on this subject, if you have the time? Thanks Ray.
