> You have some wonderful meds in Europe that we don't have here. It just so happens that one of them is quite promising for the symptoms you have described. It is Amisulpride. I order mine from a pharmacy in Italy and they ship it to me. I have tried just about every antidepressant and other psychiatric drugs you can think of, but nothing has ever worked as well as the antipsychotics for my symptoms. Amisulpride, Sulpiride, or Zyprexa would be excellent options for you. I just get the sense that taking an antidepressant alone will not do the trick for you. Either stay on Prozac, or return to Tofranil, but consider adding Amisulpride or Zyprexa to it. That's what I would do in your shoes, with the benefit of hindsight.
> JohnI didn't try amisulpride. I took a medication called "impromen", a butyropherone derivate ( i think the chemical compound is named something like "bromperidol") and made me feel like a zombie. I felt totally numb and almost catatonic. Does amisulpride resemble that, being an antypsicotic agent? Moreover, i'm concerned about TD.
