> Hello All,

> Just wondering,
>
> 1. what dosage people are taking/finding effective?
......33mg per day (200mg tab broken into 6 pieces)>
> 2. How long before noticing positive/negative effects?
......felt it a tiny bit the first day, but best effects came at about the end of week two, continuing to improve after that.>
> 3. And is it alone, or in conjunction w/other meds (what meds & doses)?
......Didn't do much when I took it with Prozac, except improved social anxiety (I think the Prozac numbed whatever good effects Amisulpride might have had). Best effects for me come with Adrafinil+Amisulpride, with a tiny bit of Prozac in the background. Amisulpride alone is OK, but with Adrafinil, much much better. Amisulpride33mg + Adrafinil300mg + 5mg to 10mg Prozac.>
> 4. Do you encounter sexual side effects? And if so, found any remedies that work for you?
......From 50mg to 100mg a day, I have mild impotence that kicks in at about week 3. At 33mg I have not had that problem. Apparently minor dose changes with me are significant in terms of sexual side effects.>
> 5. Also wondering what symptoms people find it helps them with: dysthymia, anhedonia, fatgue/energy, concentration/focus, mood... other?
......All of the above. And social anxiety too. Boost of confidence, overall social comfort, and some enhancement of mental cognition. But again, Amisulpride alone for me was only mildly helpful in these areas (though certainly better than SSRIs). It is the combo of Amisulpride+Adrafinil that really works for me.>
> Any other observations/insights/comments/etc.?
......It's a crime we can't get this wonderful medicine at our local pharmacy.>
> Thanks for any info. michael
......you're welcome. :-) John
