Hi to all!
I've read something about this serotoninrgic+dopaminergic combo, but nothing about its effectiveness.
Could anyone share something good or bad about this drug combination? Anyone was on it?
Thank you very much for your help!

amisulpride worked only for a short period of time for me. IMHO antipsychotics don't enhance dopaminergic transmition even at low dosage. They have anxiolitic properties.

Amisulpride is unique in a way though. Its not like other atypicals. At lower doses it increases dopamine but at higher doses it reduces it. I forget which part of the brain it does this. I think this is only doses 200mg and lower.
Amisulpride (Solian) was the first antipsychotic to give me Tardive Dyskinesia. It went away though after stopping it for a long time but I got it back again with Zyprexa =/
I was on it with Prozac too I think, for a while anyway. I was on it for quite a long time. First at 100mg then 200mg. Those doses are usually indicated for negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Then my dose was slowly increased to 600mg then 800mg which is more for positive symptoms. Anyway I found it quite hard to tollerate and it caused considerable akathisia for me. Some people love it but myself (and one of my friends who was on it, who also got TD from it) cant handle it.
Take care.> > Hi to all!

Prozac and amisulpride? I was on it for about a half a year. 10mg prozac and 25mg to 100mg amisulpride.
Good things included increased motivation and increased comfort around people, and a marked decrease in depression.
Bad things included insomnia and sexual probs. Amisulpride ended up being the guilty one, so now I'm on prozac and zyprexa.
But we all react differently. I've heard some people get anxiety from it, while others get sedated, while others don't feel a thing.
