What exactly are the digestive problems? What do you mean by "digestive problems"? What are the symptoms? In detail, what are the problems you are experiencing?
I didn't really mean that amisulpride is flaring up a pre-existing condition. Maybe no condition did exist prior. But, maybe it is there was. What I really meant was that in depression and anxiety, the body is already under tremendous stress. It's not as if our nervous system is under attack, but the immune system and hormones and such are just cruising along happily like nothing is wrong. No, it involves every molecule of your body and every system. We carry within us at all times harmful bacteria, yeast, fungi, etc. They are kept under control in small harmless numbers. But when we are weakened, they can overwhelm. The digestive system is an obvious point of attack. Perhaps either amisulpride itself helped to somehow feed their strength, or perhaps it somehow aggravated tissue linings, or it somehow weakened the good guys who keep the bad guys in control, or maybe amisulpride itself is actually the direct cause of problems and not anything else, or maybe it has nothing at all to do with amisulpride but is instead a completely separate weakness that just happened to coincidentally become evident while on amisulpride. In any of the above cases, all except the amisulpride-cause itself can be treated with simple things, high dose probiotics being the main line of defense and healing. Digestive enzymes also take a huge strain off an already weakened system. They can do a good portion of the digesting for you and give a weakened system time to heal rather than trying to keep up.
I'm just saying treat the gut first. If you haven't taken high dose multistrain probiotics, and you haven't taken digestive enzymes, then you haven't done the primary things that need to be done.
Based on what others have said and what I have heard rumors of over the years, sulpiride is different than amisulpride. Very similar, but also different enough to make a big difference one way or the other. Kind of like modafinil versus adrafinil. Look at the molecular diagrams of those two and they look practically identical. But they are very different. Modafinil is derived from adrafinil. They both basically do the same thing. But they are different enough. Same with sulpiride and amisulpride?
But as I said, don't be too hasty to point the finger at amisulpride. Stay well on it, and treat the gut instead. But that get's back to where I started...what exactly are the problems? That would help to figure this thing out.
> I've already stopped solian, and taken 2 days of abilify 5mg. But I feel really bad and depressed. It was the same with risperdal, I tried many months before. The idea that solian is worsening a preexisting digestion problem seems to me interesting, but difficult to know how to find the problem. I've already tried to supress different king of food, without success. Could someone tell me the exact difference between amisulpride and sulpiride ?
