In reply to How much Amisulpride is a fair trial?, posted by bigcat on August 28, 2006, at 15:44:05
I'd say the length of a 'fair trial' seems to depend on the individual. I respond quickly to meds, so I usually have a good idea of whether it's working within a week. With amisulpride I knew it was having an effect by day 4, but as of day 6 or so (today), still haven't worked out exactly what that effect is.
Some on this board have previously said that 2 weeks is an adequate trial of amisulpride. Sounds sensible to me, but I know that sometimes these things take 4-8 weeks, or longer. I usually just feel it out along the way--if it's clearly a bad med, I stop it. If I'm not sure, I give it a while longer.
But 20 tablets of 100 would be 40 doses of 50mg. Sounds like plenty to me. Hope it works out.
