Hiya, I find flupenthixol (fluanxol, depixol) >3mg (I currently take 6mg) equally effective against negative symptoms as amisulpride 400mg. However I found amisulpride woefully ineffective against positive symptoms. Other antipsychotics I have found effective against negative symptoms are thioridazine (I took 50-100mg - good for anxiety too), stelazine (dont remember the dose - no good for anxiety), sulpride (400mg, seemed exactly the same as amisulpride = no good against +ve symptoms) and chlorpromazine (75mg - gave me really bad akathasia, good against +ve and anxiety too though). If I were taking an antipsychotic purely for negative symptoms I would start with amisulpride after trying the atypicals. I have also found that for me mirtazapine is the best antidepressant to combine with an antipsychotic. Flupenthixol really boosts and stabilizes my mood, but add mirtazapine and I get a really 'natural' feeling of wellbeing.
Hope this is of some help, Bunny
