> There are no metabolites of amisulpride that would still be in your body 6 months later - amisulpride is excreted unchanged in urine and has a half life of 12 hours. How much were you taking? I can't really explain why your pdoc expected you to have a bad reaction to amisulpride. If you imported it into the US he may simply be one of those American pdocs that are suspicious of European psychopharmacology and that may have colored your own perception of the drug.

I am glad to hear you had a good experience with it. I am in Australia and amisulpride is approved here.
They gave me cogentin for the akathisia and severe insomnia (sometimes awake for 3 days in a row pacing all the time), but the combination was toxic for me, I lost 70% of my eyesight, and also had balance problems and confusion and pain all through my body.
I find that benzodiazapines are the best remedy for me, where by comparison I get almost no side effects. I can't understand why all the pdocs are so anti benzos and pro anti psychotics and depressants. To me they seem to be pushing the most dangerous drugs first and warning everyone away from the safest drugs??? Sure the benzos are pleasant and some people may get addicted, but the alternative even from antidepressants is akathisia, suicide, eps, etc ?
