Moderator Emeritus scallywag Posted August 17, 2016 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted August 17, 2016 Samanta - -- Welcome to Surviving Antidepressants (SA)! I'm glad that you found us now before you made any other changes to your dose of amisulpride, which is also known as Solian. Would you write more about your history taking Amisulpride: When did you start taking it, the month and year? How long have you been taking 400 mg? People who go off psychiatric medications have found that going very slowly is the safest way to discontinue. We suggest that people reduce by a maximum of 10% and stay at that dose for a minimum of one month. Some people discover that they feel better if they make smaller reductions than 10% and stay at a dose for 6-8 weeks or longer. You may be a person who needs to make 5% reductions.Why taper by 10% of my dosage? It is common to have problems sleeping when reducing a medication like amisulpride.What is withdrawal syndrome Please let us know how things go for you taking 388 mg. This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.1997-1999 Effexor; 2002-2005 Effexor XR 37.5 mg linear taper, dropping same #beads/week with bad results Cymbalta 60 mg 2012 - 2015; 2016: 20 mg to 7 mg exact doses and dates in this post; 2017: 6.3 mg to 0.0 mg Aug. 12; details here scallywag's IntroductionOnline spreadsheet for dose taper calculations and nz11's THE WORKS spreadsheet Link to comment

Moderator Emeritus scallywag Posted August 20, 2016 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted August 20, 2016 Samanta Thank you for the information. Some more questions: How are you feeling now after you increased from 350 mg to 388 mg of amisulpride? What is the dosage in mg (milligrams) of 8 drops levomepromazina? Are you taking any medications other than amisulpride and levomepromazina? Your medications history: valproic acid and risperidone: October 2012 - March 2014 amisulprideJan 2015 - 800 mgMay 2015 - 400 mg levomepromazina May 2015 8 drops to help sleep A request: Would you put your your history in a signature -- drugs, doses, dates, and discontinuations & reinstatements, in the last 12-18 months particularly? Any drugs prior to that can just be listed with start and stop years. Please put your withdrawal history in signature You are wise to be concerned about symptoms. The best protection is to go slowly by making small reductions in dosage no more frequently than one per month. This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.1997-1999 Effexor; 2002-2005 Effexor XR 37.5 mg linear taper, dropping same #beads/week with bad results Cymbalta 60 mg 2012 - 2015; 2016: 20 mg to 7 mg exact doses and dates in this post; 2017: 6.3 mg to 0.0 mg Aug. 12; details here scallywag's IntroductionOnline spreadsheet for dose taper calculations and nz11's THE WORKS spreadsheet Link to comment
