Let's have it clear that dopamine agonists do NOT boost dopamine directly. You can hardly compare amphetamines with dopamine agonists.

> Or sulpiride AMI, a friend of me has great succes with that combo, the sulpiride blocks the presynaptic's, so the prami fully agonizes the postsynaptic receptors.Low dose sulpiride blocks dopamine autoreceptors, which regulate and inhibit dopamine release. Risperdal probably also blocks dopamine autoreceptors. Amisulpride does it for sure. Blocking DA autoreceptors increases dopaminergic transmission. Flupentixol also does it, although it hasn't conclusively been proven. Still, both sulpiride and amisulpride are antidopaminergics potent enough to cause hyperprolactinemia even in low doses (same goes for Risperdal).
You seem to be a little biased about lisuride. You've made your conclusions on what's ' the way to go', based on.. what? Preliminary evidence? Results in the brains of mice? I do this all the time, but it's in the real life that a drug has to prove what it's worth. Please eat this stuff and enlighten us.
Current meds: 10mg melitracene + 0.5mg flupentixol; sertraline 100mg; amitriptyline 25mg; gabapentin (Neurontin) 300mg; melatonin 0.3mg. PRN: diazepam (Valium) 2.5-5mg.
