Me neither.

I didn't know about the D3 antagonism. I wonder what would happen if one were to mix amisulpride with either pramipexole or ropinirole. I guess it would depend upon the relative binding affinities of each drug to the pre- and post- synaptic receptors. One would hope that amisulpride would be stronger at the presynaptic D2 and the agonists stronger at the postsynaptic D3.
