> Amisulpride is a drug that's been on my must-try list ever since I first heard about it (over a year ago). Would have gotten to it by now if it was available for Rx here in the states.
Abilify (aripiprazole), like amisulpride, preferentially antagonizes DA presynaptic autoreceptors. It is supposed to have almost no risk of movement EPS because it does not block receptors in the striatum. People taking it for depression, myself included, report that Abilify makes one feel more social as well as helping with anhedonia and motivation. I am currently taking 10mg, which seems to be low enough to prevent akathisia.
