I usually find my gut instincts to be accurate. If your gut instincts are pointing you in the direction of antipsychotics, then maybe that is a meaningful hint. I think one thing to consider though is that there is some kind of synergy between ssris and aps that makes the combos special. Instead of just an antipsychotic, you should maybe consider an antipsychotic plus an ssri. For example, prozac + zyprexa is totally different than either prozac or zyprexa. The benefits are more profound, and they cancel out each other's side effects a great deal.
I don't know about the old aps. I do remember reading in a psychopharm book that low dose stelazine was similar to amisulpride.
In any case, ap + ssri. Whatever you past experience with aps was doesn't matter, and whatever you past experience with ssris was doesn't matter, because when they are combined it is a completely new ballgame.
