Hi all,
I'm new to this board.
Here's my situation: I've been on Zyprexa for a couple of years and it's caused huge weight gain (50 pounds or so), it makes me sleepy all the time. I've got no motivation and it seems to dull my mood. I don't feel any joy but I don't really get that low, it sorta leaves me on an even par.
Anyway, I live in Australia and my pdoc tells me he wants me to go on a new drug called amisulpride when it comes out next month. Since then I've been doing all the research I can on amisulpride and it seems to be a very promising drug and the way it is a dopamine stabilizer sounds like it is the drug for me.
So, I ask people on this board if they could please share their experiences with amisulpride with me. Particularly people who have tried or are on it and people who have taken zyprexa and had weight gain, and have lost the weight on amisulpride.Much appreciated :)
Cheers :)
Jimmy.
