Since you are the pioneering type, as evidenced by trying Trivastal, I thought I might bring up the idea of Amisulpride. At low doses of 25mg to 100mg it is pro-dopamine stimulation, it is great for social anxiety and has also been shown as effective as other antidepressants for depression. At higher doses it becomes more of a full bodied antipsychotic against both positive and negative symptoms, whereas at low doses just the negative symptoms. You would have to mailorder it. It also goes by the name Solian.
Prozac does increase dopamine levels, but not by reuptake. This is shown in various pubmed studies.
There is a problem with both prozac and paxil. That is, they are both fluoride based chemicals. Fluoride over the longrun wreaks havoc on your thyroid gland. Just a thought, but there could be a link between that and how your mood has changed the last few months. Maybe during a slow transition your thyroid was in an window but with more time has been pushed out of that window.
I truly doubt the 1/2mg drop in paxil had anything to do with anything, even though it felt like it at the time. I think it was just coincidence and something else was going on at the same time. Like thyroid maybe?
Hey I don't know. Just thinking. I can relate though. Post ECT makes a tough situation. Same with me.
Anyway, you mentioned pro-dopamine, social anxiety, depression, memory, and amisulpride popped into mind. I tried it several years ago in combo with prozac and it was a good one. It is specific to just dopamine and nothing else.
It might be worth looking at a different class of drugs, such as the nootropics. I am thinking specifically of hydergine and adrafinil, both of which have worked good on symptoms like yours with other people at chelation forums I visit.
