Hi Steve
Yes, I have suffered from dysthymia for something like 20-25 years ( I am now 39). I have never been psychotic but some of the typical negative symptoms yes...My diagnosis is basicaly dyshymia/longtime depression with adhd/inattentive type.
The effect from Amusulpride is definitly the most positve change I have ever experienced. SSRI has certainly been able to lift my depression, but at the cost of blunted feelings. Now I am "with it", kind of hightended awareness/wellbeing or basically feeling "normal".
Drive and motivation has also uncreased considerably, not a pushy feeling but more due to reasons that seem to have more to do with lessened inhibition and better ability to feel reward.
I am taking upto 50 mg a day. mixing 10 mg of Procaz that I may quite altogheter. Was on 30 mg Procaz prior to amisulpride.
The only kind of side-effect I have is that I seem to need a bit of more sleep at night. NO tiredness in the day. But I am no longer the usual nightowl...
I am actually going to add Provigil/Modafinil to the pot in a few dyas. I'll let you know how it adds up.
Good luck to you !> These are good news!
