Hi Karen -
Thanks for the replies/info. You mention that you like amisulpride even better than sulpiride. Not to beat a dead horse, but is the difference that you note between them something that can be put into words (qualitative?) - I'm guessing that they're pretty similar...
I'm thinking of trying one of them (or both) again, this time in addition to adrafinil, hoping to avoid the sedative effects I experienced the first time. Thanks for any input. michael
