Yes, it is a good drug isn't it? I've just been looking at the wiki article and apparently it binds to the GHB receptor (incidentally I just found an old packet under the stairs last week, but it had gone soft and mushy - or else it would have solved my sleeping problems). I would presume this means it has some effect on GABA?
>I still have some onhand though and sometimes contemplate trying it again. Overall I think amisulpride has real good potential in two areas: Where someone does poorly on serotonin meds; and where someone is ok with serotonin meds but has the flat effect.
I have flat affect, to the point where it could be classified as part of the negative symptoms of Schizophrenia. So obviously amisulpride helps on that front too. It seems to be making me a little bit psychotic. I kept bursting out laughing for no partcular reason in the shop earlier tonight. I think people noticed too. Still, I would rather be that way than feeling half-dead, as with some of the other APs.
