In reply to Amisulpride: how to reduce side effects, posted by Mauro on November 1, 2001, at 17:14:51
I think you might have to just do some experimenting and find out what works for you. For example, when you stop taking Amisulpride, if you feel yourself getting worse again, then get back on it. Then once you are fine again, try stopping it again and see how long you can go. You'll just have to play around with it and discover what works best for you.
John> Hi to everyone,
> I suffer of Dystimic desease (low mood, constant negative thoughts, social anxiety, anhedonia...) I've tried all kind of AD (lot of SSRI, Tryciclical, Neuroleptyc...) without any results but with a lot of connected deseases and aggravation of principal symptoms.
> Then my Med prescribed me Levosulpiride 100 mg/d (it is in commerce in Italy and has a Chemical Structure very similar to Amisulpride). Using this med I finally had excellent results and great improvements of negative symptoms.
> The averse effects were very limited and the only one I suffered was Hiperprolactemy, causing low sex desire, but my med said also to me, for reducing that effect, to take product in Cyclic of 15 days and than suspend it for 4/5 days, and so on.
> All contra effects was wery reduced, but not principal effect of terapy!
> So, my Med have prescribed me Amisulpride (Deniban in Italy), thinking it's better than Levosulpiride, and I'm going to keep similar Cyclical use like I've once done for Levosulpiride.
> Has everyone experience about cyclical use of Amisulpride? How many days of use before stopping seems to be right? How long to stop terapy?
> Tanke You all.
> Bye Mauro
