Hello.
I'm a 25 year old male with life-long generalized social anxiety, ADHD (inattentive), and severe depression. I have been on and off psychotropic medications since age 14, starting with Paxil.
I recently obtained Amisulpride from an online pharmacy. Today was my first day on the drug. I took 50 mgs and noticed only very mild sedation at first. I intend to try it for at least a month. If it proves unhelpful I intend to try an MAOI. My problem however is that I do not know how to go about finding a doctor willing to prescribe anything but conventional drugs like the SSRI's and Effexor. Further, I live in Kansas, which I think is a big part of the problem.
Anyone have any recommendations for finding psychiatrists willing to try less orthodox approaches (such as the MAOIs) for treatment-resistant mental illness? I'm willing to travel if need be.
Also, what experiences have others had with Amisulpride in the treatment of Social Anxiety?
