Hi Marty,
Did you ever try Solian (amisulpride)? At low doses it too has a D2 agonist action and many people find it very efective for social phobia, depression and dysthymia/dysphoria. It is the only drug that has an instant mood brightening effect on me and makes me pro-social with no anxiety. It is a wonerful drug for SA and reading so many stories of others who have found this too has made me more determined to get me GP to re-prescribe it. It is very stimulating and motivating - can cause insomnia but unlike most other stimulants it is strangely anxiolytic.
I suspect many would have a hard time convincing their pdocs to try a drug licensed for Parkinson's like cabergoline but I know many feel more comfortable prescribing low-dose antipsychotics. It's a real shame this drug isn't licenced in the US. It's strange the manufacturers Sanofi-Aventis haven't pushed for a licence other than psychosis given the size of the potential market in the US for a drug of this kind. Does anyone know why Solian is not approved for use by the FDA?
