In reply to doctor doesnt want to prescribe Sulpiride !!!!!!!!, posted by Jeroen on July 16, 2008, at 4:51:27
Linkadge is kind of echoing what I've been saying all along. That is, I question the accuracy of the diagnosis. I still say the hoofprints look like a horse, but they are not. They are a zebra.
Start exploring antidepressant+antipsychotic; benzodiazepine with or without something else. It could be a form of massive anxiety that has brought your nervous system and body into the realm of schizophrenia, but it is still anxiety not schizophrenia. Just a thought.
Not sure if you thought about it last time....the horse and the zebra. They are different animals, but their prints look about the same. They have many similarities, but different animals. It isn't just the stripes.
Whatever the case, I agree with Linkadge that any antipsychotic by itself is going to be off target and of no good. That in fact has already been proven. That being said, while all the other antipsychotics have similarities, sulpiride is unique in that it affects dopamine and only dopamine, nothing else. The others are not like that. So I guess if one is to take one more shot at the APs, sulpiride or amisulpride make sense.
Going forward instead of thinking so hard on which AP to try, shift gears into thinking which AD, benzo, or mood stabilizer (depkote?) can I add to my AP.
Just some ideas.
