Severe anxiety

Posted by jms600 on March 4, 2004, at 17:03:28

Hello everyone,

OK, from what I can gather from the postings I've read on this site Amisulpride/Sulpiride are amongst the best drugs to take for severe anxiety.

I suffer from all the known types of anxiety (apart from OCD) fairly severely as well as depression (I think the anxiety is the cause of my depression). I'm going to see my doctor next week and am going to ask about trying Amisulpride/Sulpiride. I'm currently on 225mg Effexor.

What have people found to be the most suitable dose of Amisulpride/Sulpiride for severe anxiety (including panic attacks, GAD, social anxiety, co-morbid depression)?

Thanks!

solian isn't approved in the USA just so you know. it is approved in other countires tho. it has abuse potential at low doses. i reccomend klonopin and the upcoming pregabalin (neurontins successor) for severe anxiety. trust me :)

But it can be imported very easily (solian=amisulpride), with your pdoc's rx. Or you can first try sulpiride.

HUH? I've read many many studies done on sulpiride/amisulpride and NEVER have I found any info on abuse potential. Maybe you've mistaken amisulpride with amineptine.

Actually I'd recommend either sulpiride/amisulpride first, then if both of these drugs fail - start klonopin. Cause the Klonopin works very good for anxiety, but it can cause addiction problems, just like all benzos.
BTW: I use 25 mg of Amisulpride and it works great for my generalized social anxiety.
