Has anyone made the jump from Celexa to Amilsulpiride?
I know they're completely different classes of drugs, but I'm looking to try something different. At 50 mgs, Celexa has robbed me of much of my willpower and increased my cravings to drink and (esp) do cocaine. Eating and not exercising are a problem too...these are things I've always been vigilant about.
Oh, I'd love to have my sex drive back as well.

Eating and not exercising are a problem too...these are things I've always been vigilant about.I haven't gone from Celexa to Amisulpride, but I have gone from other SSRIs to Amisulpride and currently take Prozac with Amisulpride. Certainly Amisulpride alone or in combination with Celexa could be tried. It would be easier to add it on rather than stop Celexa, though you could probably lower the dose of Celexa.
As far as side effects or how well it would work or whatever, it is just my own personal experience that all of these things are unpredictable. The only way is to try it and find out. I wish I had something more helpful to add. The best I can say is, give it a try and see how it goes. I've tried Amisulpride with a lot of different things and by itself, but like it best with Prozac and/or Adrafinil.

When you took the Amilsulpiride with just the anafradil, did it address issues of anxiety?
I remember Risperidone, another atypical AP, took care of false beliefs and confidence, but general anxiety and inability to concentrate built up (along with some other terrifying effects)
