Karen -

Thanks once again for the reply. I like your idea, but I'll have to see if I can get my pdoc to go along. I had asked about trying some other stims, since adrafinil's been the only real help I've found so far. So far her opinion has been that I don't have the "classic" ADD diagnosis, so she doesn't want to prescribe stimulants - "that would just be treating the symptoms" (i.e. the fatigue, etc) not the underlying promblem.

Whatever... that's why I'm going w/the adrafinil for now... Anyway, thanks again. I'll see how the amisulpride & adrafinil do togethe. `michael

Give Adrafinil plus Amisulpride a try BUT if you do not get the desired response, I think you may want to try lowering the Adrafinil dose to just 300mg per day and adding Adderall (10mg, 2x a day), before making a final judgement on it's efficacy.
