In reply to AP mechanisms of effect: Amisulpiride, sulpiride, posted by floatingbridge on August 13, 2011, at 21:48:53
I'm not entirely sure (I get those 2 drugs mixed up), but I think a low dose of amisulrpide is used for depression and people with mostly negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Mildly stimulating, I guess kind of like low-dose Abilify, but w/o the akathisia.
If you're going to be importing pills, flupentixol is worth looking at, too. Nothing special in high doses--EPS, TD, all that--but very low doses are somewhat "activating." Its still a neuroleptic, so it can apparently be used for depression and anxiety w/o setting off mania. I don't think it even causes akathisia in the lower doses used for mood disorders, but I'm not sure.
Good luck!
