In reply to Amisulpride plus Pramipexole?, posted by uncouth on December 18, 2013, at 17:38:45
If your haven't tried Abilify yet, I would consider performing a 2 - 4 week trial. It works like a combination of Amisulpride and pramipexole at the same time, but doesn't carry with it the risks of hyperprolactinemia (amisulpride) or sleep attacks (pramipexole). Abilify (aripiprazole) is a dopamine D2/D3 receptor partial agonist. It works like an antipsychotic when dopamine activity is too high, and like an antidepressant when activity is too low. The major risk with Abilify is akathisia. Akathisia-like effects often occur during the first week or so with Abilify, but usually dissipate within a week. True akathisia will not dissipate. Abilify can also produce weight-gain. The only atypical antipsychotics that are weight neutral are Geodon (ziprasidone) an Latuda (lurasidone).
