I personally tried it years ago in low doses of 25-50mgs. where it supposedly preferentially agonizes the presynaptic receptor and increases net dopamine firing. I had pretty good results overall but I did find that it moved my prolactin above the normal range. Other than that it was a good and effective medication for my symptoms. Unfortunately the cost and difficulty obtaining it from overseas sources prohibited me from using it long term.

> I have heard about the higher prolactin. Would meds that lower prolactin destroy the good properties of amisulpride?That's a good question. I remember someone once mentioned adding bromocriptine to amisulpride to reduce the prolactin but I don't know of anyone who has ever tried the combination. It seems to me it might work since bromocriptine seems to be a pretty selective dopamine agonist at receptors that deal primarily with the release of hormones like prolactin and GH from the pituitary and less so at other dopamine receptors involved in mood and energy. It would be interesting to hear of a user report on such a combination.
