BTND and AME, your posts are very helpful to me as it seems we have very similar dx and have tried a lot of the same meds. I just have a couple questions for you guys:
BTND - you've mentioned the great response you've had to Amisulpride before, and now Amis + Deprenyl. You've also mentioned how great the combo of Xyrem + Adderall is. Which combo is better? Also, since Xyrem (GHB) actually inhibits dopamine release in the acute stage, why do you combine it with Adderall? How does Xyrem + Adderall feel different to you than just plain Xyrem?
AME - I think you're doing the Klono + Adderall + Prozac combo, which is exactly what I'm taking now. However, I don't find the Adderall as prosocial as others seem to. I remember when you used to swear by Tramadol before it pooped out. How does your current combo compare to Tramadol for SP? Also, did you ever try the combo of an opioid agonist + stimulant? How did it make you feel?
Thanks guys.

I'll be away for about a week or so (summer vacation), but I will remember to answer your post Michael.
Take care.

Yupp, I've noticed the same thing (that we have same symptoms/tried meds).
;)
> BTND - you've mentioned the great response you've had to Amisulpride before, and now Amis + Deprenyl.The problem with Amisulpride is that it keeps working for some time and then it suddenly stops working. When it does work - it is fantastic med for dysthymia,anergy,social phobia.
>You've also mentioned how great the combo of Xyrem + Adderall is. Which combo is better?When it comes to being pro-social - nothing ( and I mean *nothing* , even MDMA or alcohol) can't beat Adderall and Xyrem combo. It is the BEST combo for making social anxiety non-existent plus it gives HUGE BOOST as far as sociability.
>Also, since Xyrem (GHB) actually inhibits dopamine release in the acute stage, why do you combine it with Adderall?I combined it by mistake actually ;) and was VERY suprised with the effects, since I know everything about Adderall/amphetamine and GHB pharmacology (in theory they should both counteract each other).
>How does Xyrem + Adderall feel different to you than just plain Xyrem?
Plain GHB/Xyrem does not provide this enormous pro-social boost which Adderall+GHB does. Although plain GHB/Xyrem is good for keeping anxiety/OCD away, and lifts mood significantly.
Take care
