> Can Amisulpride be added to Parnate? My doctor is hesistant to try anything dopaminergic as an augmenting agent, why?. High dose Parnate (150mg) has just stopped working for me and I don't know what to augment it with.

Eric, I don't see any reason why you couldn't augment Parnate with any antipsychotic. Actually, I would be more afraid of using Abilify or Geodon than amisulpride. They possess pro-serotoninergic properties and can be produce mania and psychosis.Do you know what specifically he is afraid will happen? Psychosis? Hypertension?
lithium
lamotrigine
desipramine
amphetamine
bromocriptine
thyroidI have tried all of these with Parnate 120-150mg. Aggressive yes. Lethal no. I would try lithium first. Desipramine is probably the most potent of these drugs to add. Parnate + desipramine was the only thing to ever work for me. If you add it in gradually, you should have no problem.
How long did Parnate work for you?
