> Hello,
>
> I have taken amisulpride and fluoxetine at different times in the past, each with a little benefit for my social phobia/fatigue. I have now started taking 50mg amisulpride again for 12 days now, and just today added fluoxetine 20mg. I hope that the combination of the two will more than double the results.

> If necessary, I might like to add a dopamine agonist such as Mirapex, Requip, or PerMax. I know very little except what Ame Sans Vie provided about Mirapex.

> Does anyone know about dosing of Requip and PerMax when used for dysthymia or social phobia? Do you know anything about long term negative effects? Thank you.
>
> PS: I just bought fluoxetine 20mg x 30 at Costco for $7.29. How could this be? Walgreens sells it for $55, and charges $96 for the name brand Prozac. I am very happy.

> Afterword: When looking for a new psychiatrist, I think a good screening question (while talking to his/her nurse on the phone) would be... Does Dr. X often prescribe off-label medications.i think there were several questions formulated back in 1999... have you ever prescribed MAOI + TCA? have you ever prescribed stimulant for depression? .......... have you ever treated a patient with ___, ___ and ___ ... how are they doing now?
