A curious
medication, amisulpride is thought to have its
antipsychotic effect as a result of
dopamine antagonism; oddly, it has the exact
opposite effect in low doses (around 50mg or less per day) and as
such can be used as a purely antidepressive drug in small quantities. The
drug typically causes weight gain. At the time of writing, this
medication is not available to patients in the USA.
