I have used amisulpride for dysthymia, anhedonia, and social anxiety. I'm not currently using it because of my participation in a study for social anxiety involving levetiracetam. I used a 50mg dose, once daily for about 1 month with a cyclical, but good response. Everything I enjoy became that much more enjoyable - so I know the dopaminergic effect has some utility in my case. However, continued administration lessens the effect. So I tried discontinuation for three days. By doing so, amisulpride kicked in upon re-use. No side effects noted.

I started in the middle of August and felt fantastic results in the middle of September. I'm still using it.

50 mg /day

WONDERFUL. Simply wonderful. My social anxiety/phobia is gone, my dysthymic mood has improved a lot (although I need just small twitches to bring it to top level), no negative self-talk. And no side effects.

Good at first. Oddly stimulating and relaxing at the same time. Sort of like L-Theanine or Picamilone. More stimulating when I combined it with moclobemide. Unfortunately, tolerance to its mood elevating effects faded quickly. Personally, I didn't find it to be a very potent drug... too expensive to justify.
