Tom,
I wonder why you aren't having sexual side effects? I tell you, when I took amisulpride the sexual side effects were fierce. Way worse than any ssri.Did you have any sexual side effects in the first couple weeks that later went away? Diminished interest, inability, anything like that?
I have never taken amisulpride all by itself. I used it once with prozac and remeron. I used it with zyprexa. Sexual side effects were so bad. I'm wondering if I should someday try it all by itself. That would be a very hard transition though to stop zyprexa and start amisulpride, even though my zyprexa dose is very low.
Anyway, I am curious about the sexual side effects. Comments on that?
> I started out at 25mgs for a week and noticed more obsessive thinking. I started going up in dosage every week until I got to 150mgs, and I noticed a worsening of my symptoms. I quit the drug alltogether for about two days and restarted at 12.5mgs and WHAM! Within two to three hours I could tell that it was going to work. Like flip_flop said I got somewhat of a stimulant effect the first few weeks at the low dose. It was subtle but nonetheless it was definatley stimulant-like. I had insomnia during this time. Right now the stimulant properties seem to be waning and I still have a nice antidepressant and anxiolytic effect. I'm sleeping like a baby now too. No side effects. Completely calm and cool around people and able to express thoughts and emotion. Just normal. It's a great drug for me.
