How are you planning to reduce your other antipsychotics? When used alone, the usual dose of amisulpride is between 400mg and 800mg per day (split into two doses) for those with prominent hallucinations and/or delusions. Close to 400mg twice a day is often optimal for acutely psychotic patients, but may cause some extrapyramidal symptoms. Around 200mg twice a day is suitable for less severe psychotic symptoms. Less than 300mg per day is used for the relief of negative symptoms and depressive symptoms associated with psychosis, but is rarely sufficient when obvious hallucinations and delusions are a problem (or have been a problem prior to treatment with other drugs). 50mg per day is not antipsychotic, but may improve mood.
