Actually I resumed sulpiride yesterday. I will take Liver Function Tests every a couple of days to see if it does cause any liver problem...
So far so good.

> Too much dopamine causing anxiety??? Yes certain meds that increase dopamine at certain sites cause anxiety. But it is also clear that certain types of anxiety (at least) are due to hypofunction at certain dopamine receptor sites in the brain. Sulpiride and amisulpride deal with the hypofunction at those specific receptor sites (seemingly the D2/D3 limbic system receptors). The evidence is very compelling that 1) anxiety can be caused by hypofunction at these sites 2) amisulpride and sulpiride can be effective at dealing with this anxiety and 3) this type of anxiety of includes negative thinking loops (loosely termed 'ruminations').
