Hi everyone,
I just started Amisulpride (Solian) and so far it is very good.
After my first dose I initially had a feeling of well being which was great. I also found that I was more relaxed and calm.
I did, however find it hard to get to sleep at first, but I think that will pass.All the best,
Jimmy.

It's not available in the US right? I forgot what action amisulpride is - dopamine antagonist?

Yes, it's still not available in the US but I think it will be soon. It is a dopamine antagonist but it's actually referred to as a dopamine system stabilizer. Amisulpride is used for a whole range of things such as social phobia, depression and psychotic disorders.
Best wishes,
Jimmy

I just have anxiety...

Glad to hear it is helping you.
BTW, what's the difference between amisulpride and sulpiride? Is the former considered safer?

Hi Kari, Thanks for your kind words :) I think sulpiride has a few interactions with other meds. Also Amisulpride has fewer side effects.
Utopizen, all these meds are different and I was also concerned about them. The last med I was on caused terrible side effects but this one is at the moment relatively side effect free. We'll see anyway.
Kind regards,
Jimmy.

Hi , Does amisulpride cause sexual disfunction?
Amisulpride is now available in Mexico , but Im Afraid of taking it , because nobody has experience with this drug here in Mexico .
Do you think is a safe drug? have you tried other antipsichotic drugs ? can you compare them with the amisulpride ?
Thank you
