In reply to Re: Amisulpride 100 mg w/Bromocriptine. What dose? » avoidant, posted by blueberry on December 8, 2006, at 17:54:11
"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."
Over a period of weeks or months, amisulpride generally causes sexual dysfunction (from the prolactin thing), but the lower the dose, the lower the likelihood. Since 50mg is considered sort of standard, I would at least try reducing it to that level, and maybe to 25mg--which some people prefer. The bromocriptine should help protect against the side-effects, as noted above, so you may want to keep it (there is at least one post in the archives that speaks of success in using this combination to prevent sexual side-effects, but the user eventually had to take a high dose of cabergoline and lower the amisulpride). That would make the amisulpride more likely tolerable in the medium term, I would think.
Best of luck,
