Are there any europeans here who takes solian? What are your experiences? I ask for europeans, since obviously this drug is not approved in america…
I like the drug quite a bit, it doesnt make me as dull as zyprexa, and it has few side effects, I havent weaned quite of zyprexa yet, but It wount be long now…
I am from Europe. I used to take sulpiride which is very simillar to amisulpride. I felt very good but had to quit because my prolactin levels rised. How are your prolactin levels?
Best regards.
I take Solian at low levels. Sometimes, when I’m a bit delusional and stressed, I have to complete with another antipsychotic. It seems to be a “good” compromise on a daily basis : it’s lighter than zyprexa which is very sedative or abilify which on the contrary speeds me too much. But Solian has some side effects : high prolactin levels and overwheight.
I haven t checked my prolactin levels yet, but Ill look into that.
How much do you take? Im on 600mg.
I tried amisulpride at 400mg a day when i became ill. I didn’t like it and had high prolactin.
works great for me, and i am due a blood test, all my other functions are ok but my p/doc wants to see my lipid levels as well and a couple other things, i will ask about prolactin though, only thing was my bone density test was a little high but he said thats nothing to worry about as it goes up and down anyway.
used to take amisulpride, i found it did help but suffered terrible side effects, mainly severe stiffness in legs…to the point where i wouldnt be able to bend my legs to walk and weight gain
Im on 200mg. Sometimes it’s not enough to calm down anxiety. Moreover I wonder if the medication loses its efficiency in time so that it’s necessary to increase the daily dose for a same effect???
i was on a 1200mg dose of Amisulpride for a year when i was 25. i stopped it cold turkey & went into what in part i think was a rebound/withdrawal psychosis. i was sectioned & refused all medication, but was threatened with a section 3 & depot injections if i didn’t take something. So i agreed to a 200mg dose. i tried stopping it twice more - once with a 3 month reduction & the last time with a 2 year reduction - i kept ending up in very severe near catatonic psychosis. i just accept having to take it, & have taken it religiously for the past 10 years. A couple of years ago i increased it to 300mg, & have considered increasing it again.
All things considered i accept taking it to treat the illness/condition & think it works well in doing that. Haven’t been psychotic/delusional in over 10 years since last major breakdown.
I have been on Amisulpride for 2 years. The dose I take is 250mg. The main sid eeffect is high prolactin level which affects bone density, sexual drive. Also I felt anxious and tired easily. But I reckon it a good med as you have to accept some side effects from all the antipsychotics.
