Good question. I don't have a solid answer. I can say two things.
1. Sometimes antipsychotics can improve response to AD's. Sometimes they can make things a lot worse.
2. Amisulpride is slightly different from other antipsychotics in that it has higher affinity for presynaptic dopamine autoreceptors than it does for post synaptic receptors. So theoretically it could result in increased post-synaptic d2 receptor agonism. This may not be the case however.
I would personally go by what your gut tells you.
If paxil alone was working better, then you could try it alone. Perhaps add something else to help with the IBS. Perhaps low dose TCA, or mirtazapine might help.
