It works for me too so far (several months). I was taking lithium for bipolar and yet after 2-3 years I was experiencing great muscle/bone pain and bloating--just so uncomfortable and in pain. So I weaned off it and after 6 months was in a nasty Mixed Episode (hypomania with depression).
Tried amisulpride, at higher dose than you (up to 200 though I can go up to 300mg) and it felt clean and clear, a month later my muscle pain etc was mainly gone and I could walk again freely without ice blocks and hot water bottles following me everywhere I sat. I now usually take about 75mg-125 mg. and am sleeping 5-7 hrs. The lethargy, depression seems relieved. I hope it lasts. ramsea
