In reply to Amisulpride 100 mg w/Bromocriptine. What dose?, posted by avoidant on December 8, 2006, at 16:42:22
I took 50mg amisulpride years ago and loved it, except that it made sex life zero. I wondered if bromocriptine would reverse that but was too scared to try combining them. It's a long technical explanation. Interesting you did. On paper these two meds could counteract each other or turbocharge each other. It is hard to tell which.Again it is a long technical story, but I would think 50mg would have more antidepressant motivational effect than 100mg. But clinical studies showed no difference between those two doses in treating depression. They weren't directly focused on motivation though. You might go down to 50mg to try, and if nothing else just to cut the cost of the medication in half.
Maybe the parnate dose is too high causing a blunting of emotions from too much serotonin?
Anyway, with the combo you are on, I must admit you are brave. Just thinking out loud, I would maybe say lower the parnate, lower the amisulpride, avoid the benzos as much as possible and take just the smallest dose possible when you do. For general safety, maybe the ritalin could go away? Hey, you know how you feel more than anyone else, so you'll just have to feel it out. These are just my thoughts out loud.
I'm a huge fan of amisulpride, now if I could just figure out how to counteract the sexual dysfunction from it. Bromocriptine theoretically should help with that by lowering the prolactin that amisulpride is raising. You don't have any sex problems with it?
