In reply to Anyone try low dose Amisulpride or Sulpride, posted by poser938 on August 21, 2011, at 4:50:56
I've been on and off amisulpride multiple times. My opinion is it would be a good match for your situation. The trick with it is in the dosing. The lowest dose used in most studies was 50mg, but that can be much. Even 25mg is fairly potent. I usually start it by taking 25mg once very other day for a week and then every day after that. 12.5mg wasn't enough, 50mg was too much. To me the feeling of the drug goes like this....the first day there is some mild stimulation both physically and mentally, not as strong the second day, and then disappears....the real effect will now wait for another few weeks to kick in gradually. To me this drug is a rapid antidepressant that can be used on an as-needed basis for same day results (thus one of my few emergency meds), and is somewhat stimulating yet calming at the same time and it does help with cognitive function and creativity. I found it to be a better anti-anhedonia med than antidepressant med, but that part of it takes 6 weeks or so to fully take effect.
