My overall muscle/shin etc pain did remit after I decided to add back 12 mg. (half a 25mg tab) of Seroquel about once every 2 days, weaning off more slowly. So I think it was Seroquel stoppage causing the "musculoskeletal" effect.
The amisulpiride has been great for the past couple of months at usually just 100-150 mg. It helps clear depression, gets me going.
And while I can only get about 3-4 hrs sleep without the Seroquel, I am sleeping 5-6 hours when I take the 12 mg. But if I take the 25 mg., I think the effect is greater due to its absence the other days and I sleep a blissful 6-7 hrs, more or less unbroken (which has become my norm, <dramatic sigh>).
My libido is not low but I can't make anything of it <more sighing>. As for prolactin, I had a test a couple of weeks ago but haven't heard back from the pdoc yet--which could be a good sign or could mean he is not paying attention. He's pretty good (though fairly new to me) so I am betting it is a normal reading. Will get back to this thread when I find out.
But so far I think amisulpiride is very helpful for now in keeping me from my worst depressive symptoms. ///ramsea
