> > Thanks for the reply Scott. The reason I was asking is because I haven't been able to find a source for Amisulpride but have found one for Sulpiride. A couple more questions... Around what dose of Sulpiride would be equal to 50mg Amisulpride for Social Anxiety/Depression? Also, do you know if you possibly get receptor sensitivity with Amisulpride/Sulpiride such as the complaints about Mirapex?

He recommended sulpiride at a dosage of 50mg. That would equate to 25mg of amisulpride. I received some benefit from it during the first week, then it just sort of faded on me. It seems to me that amisulpride 50mg is the most commonly used dosage when treating depression or dysthymia.

Scott- My dr. consults with a "world famous" doc in NY as well. I wonder if it's the same one? I think his name is Dr. Andrew Neurinburg (sp?).Jerry
