I was on Sulpiride for ten years and also tried Amisulpiride for a month or two as they thought an atypical would be less dangerous and freer of side effects.Amisulpiride did not work.
Apart from schizoaffective disorder, I also have a diagnosis of HPPD. I have noticed that atypicals can worsen this and have been on Clozapine, Olanzapine , Loxapine, Haloperidol, Stelazine and others with limited success. Sulpiride has been the only one that has got rid of my HPPD and psychosis completely. However, it is too dangerous for me to stay on it as my prolactin was sky high and I stopped menstruating and developed thinning bones at the tender age of 30 - I am now 34. I did notice that the anti-depressant action of Sulpiride stopped after a year but I went up to 800mg, which enabled me to work and socialise very effectively for all those years. I was then put on Lamotrigine for suicidal depression and this saved my life.I am now on Seroquel and dealing with harsh side effects and a return of HPPD. I am wondering whether atypicals' effect on a wider range of receptors may be to blame. I have heard that Risperidone can worsen HPPD.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
