I am about to start monotherapy of a low dose (12.5mg) of amisulpride for chronic dysthymia.
I will work up to no more than 50mg depending on response but am concerned about Tardive dyskinesia risk. I know it can be a risk at high doses, what about low dose ? Anyone had it ?
Thanks

In reply to Is TD a possible risk on low dose of Amsulpride ?, posted by rculater on September 29, 2014, at 13:01:07
TD can happen with any neuroleptic at any dose. Older people, particularly older women, are at a higher risk, as are children and adolescents. People with mood disorders are at a higher risk than those with psychotic disorders.
That said...a very low dose of an atypical is probably not as bad as, say, a low dose of haloperidol or a high dose atypical. I take 30 abilify and I try to cut my TD risk with antioxidants. Orthomolecular medicine seems to be the only thing going that could very well prevent a lot of TD before it pops up.
Anyway...good luck to you!
