Amisulpride prescribed
My doctor had put me on amisulpride 100, now he increased the dose of it to 200 and 250 later. I have read its for schizophrenia. But I don't have schizophrenia symptoms. Still he is saying to continue amisulpride. I have symptoms of ADD also. I have excessive sleepiness during daytime and tiredness.So i stopped taking it. Is it logical to take amisulpride for Depression or anxiety or ADD?

Amisulpride is given in lower doses for Depressive disorders, no evidence based for ADD or ADHD
But please don’t stop the medications abruptly, it has to be tapered and stopped
Please review with your psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation
