Amisulpride or Zyprexa? For me that's a tough call. I think either one of them could work well, though as with anything else, one might work while another doesn't. I hate the 'your mileage may vary' part, but you know how that goes. Personally I favor Amisulpride, just because of its relative lack of side effects. Zyprexa is often a bit too sedating for me, and weight gain is pretty common. Those are pretty rare side effects with Amisulpride.For social anxiety and motivation, Adrafinil could also be an excellent choice. At least in my own personal experience anyway. An unbelievably good combo is Amisulpride(25mg to 50mg) + Adrafinil (300mg). Talk about being perfectly at ease, comfortable, and motivated in a crowd. Wow. The two together is greater than just the sums of the two added, if that makes any sense. But either alone in their own rights are very good.
I understand you can't take stimulants. I wouldn't include Adrafinil in that category. Sure, on the label it says 'Psychostimulant'. But it doesn't work chemically like stimulants. Totally different ballgame. And it takes at least a week, up to four, to feel its benefits. Unlike regular stimulants you can feel right away. Adrafinil is, in my own experience, about as mild as herbs, and so effective it always amazes me. I feel the same about Amisulpride. I just wanted to say, don't rule out Adrafinil. Just because you can't take stimulants doesn't mean you can't take Adrafinil. They really aren't the same.
I have no experience with Nootropics. I would like to find out more about them, like whether they really are good or whether it's just a lot of hype. Personal trial is probably the only way to do that.
