>Hi Marty,
I live in the UK where I can get amisulpride (Solian) free on prescription if my pedantic doctor so chooses to prescribe it. I think it is reasonably priced compared to most other antipsychotic meds of this kind, especially since you only need small doses (50mg) to get the D2 agonist effect. Solian has no current licence in the US, but I have heard of people using it legally with the co-operation of their pdoc in America, though I don't know how they obtain it.
I've tried..... well, nearly everything. MAOIS, benzos, TCAs, antipsychotics, SSRIs etc, etc, etc and many obscure remedies. So if you have questions about any bizzare treatments you are considering it's a fair bet I've taken it or at least considered taking it at some point, and I'm always happy to help fellow sufferers.
