I've been trying sulpiride for a while. I used to take it in the AD dosage range (50mg - 150mg) but now I'm up to 400mg. I might go down again if I feel it may be better. It's too early to talk about the long-term effacy of it for me. If you search the archives you'll find a lot of experiences of sulpiride/amisulpiride with SA. Oh yeah, I agree with you on the psychosis/paranoia aspect of SA. It's something that I also theorized. Interestingly this article sees some SA as a component of Bipolar - http://www.psycheducation.org/depression/Anxiety.htm#social
> Hi, I am just curious about what effects people with social phobia experience with the use of anti-psychotics. Do they work at all for you? Alone or in combo with something else? Do they help with sensitivity to rejection? Which ones have you tried? I am on risperdal right now and am trying to decide on a good mix of meds to best address the social phobia issue.
