Well, two that I know of (in my experience) are Geodon (only at very low dose) and Lamictal.

First of all, the Geodon, my doctor told me that it acts more like a dopamine agonist at lower dosages (under 40mg). This is most likely because, at those low doses, it preferentially antagonizes dopamine presynaptic autoreceptors thereby enhancing dopaminergic transmission. Unlike Amisulpride, you can get Geodon in the states. I take 10mg Geodon 2xday, and it helps me to be more motivated, pro social, and stuff.

Also, Lamictal, according to some posts on this board, has an indirect dopaminergic effect possibly through NMDA antagonism. It's said to potentiate dopaminergic transmission. I take 200mg of this.
