Yes, I hated Thioradizne (total Zombie-straight-jacket effect),Fluphenazine(Akathisia,depression, abnormal body movements,Perphenazine(Zombie,restlesness),Trifluperazine (Akathisia).
Flupenthixol at 1mg had an alerting motivating effect but one drawback: severe restless legs- I knew it would develope into Akathisia so I stopped.
All of the above I tried a couple of times max except Flupenthixol which I took very occasionaly not more than 1mg a day (with lorazepam in my pocket just in case of Akathisia).
- Sulpiride at 50mg is different.No side effects at all and gives a totally different taming effect unlike BZ or SSRIs.However 100mg gave an dysphoric mood.
- Amisulpride 50mg is alittle more sedating than its brother,and has the same effect + a sort of "good feeling" antidepressant effect,but soon fade away with repeated doses.No side effects at this dose, but anyway I tend to use the last 2 very very rarley because I'm afraid of akathisia or any long term side effects (TD)+ any weight gain,which thankfully non happened so far.
Anyway I'm not a big fan of all neuroleptics.All the best,
DH
