Hi SLS.

Risperidone was the worst I've tried, but that was in a different era (beginning of 2000s decade). I might react differently to it now.

Aripiprazole was without benefit, but stimulated salivation and induced an (eye) accommodation disorder. I had better luck with dopamine pure agonists (pramipexole), but the initial (and unique) anti-anhedonic effect was quickly lost, and I did not try high doses.

Asenapine is one I'd like to try.

Olanzapine has sometimes had a short lived beneficial (less apathy) effect at first. Otherwise it makes me tired and has a tendency to stimulate appetite.

I've also tried other antipsychotics. Sulpiride is the most impressive of them. At first (at low doses) it was a stronger stimulant than methylphenidate. This effect was quickly lost, and did not come back after a considerable period of abstinence.
