Low-dose sulpiride seem to have minor positive effects with me - can I combine it with risperidone? What are the consequences of combining two neuroleptics? From a cursory search there doesn't seem to be much evidence for combined APs superiority over a single agent, although combining two APs is a somewhat common occurence in hospitals. The risk for EPS seems much higher though. Low-dose sulpiride acts as dopamine agonist contradicting the action of risperidone - what could be the consequences of combiining the 2?

If you google drug checker second one down if remember correctly and add both names of the meds and it will show if any interractions. Phillipa

if both are low doses, i think it would be a good combination, and have very low EPS potential. You might get some mood and sleep benefits from teh risperidone, and the good improvement on negative symptoms from low dose amisulpride. i don't see it as useful if the risperidal is a higher dose, but you could get some improvement by adding low-dose risperdone a higher dose of amisulpride.
