Hey jimmygold, I really enjoy reading your posts. I'm not going to forget what you've written, because I like to see the whole picture and you have some valid points that need to be in that picture. Amisulpride didn't work for that doctor's case study and it didn't work for you. That is meaningful in the big picture. Thank you for sharing that.
I think one thing that deserves mention in the whole amisulpride discussion is this...in my opinion I think it is much better as an add-on medication to something else. For example if someone is on an ssri, they are not feeling particularly depressed but they are feeling blah and pleasureless, amisulpride can work great in that situation. Or with a benzo. Or if they are stable on meds but still have difficulty being comfortable in a crowd. It adds a specific dopamine component to balance things out, especially if someone wants avoid messing with serotonin norepinephrine and histimine. If they just want pure dopamine, amisulpride can add that balance I think. At least it did for me anyway.
I have never tried amisulpride on its own. It was an awesome add-on to prozac. But that prolactin thing. Strange how that happens to some people but not others. There was someone else here a couple weeks ago that got his sky-high prolactin back to normal by taking cabergoline twice a week and reducing the amisulpride dose from 50mg to 25mg.
