How to Counter-Act Amisulpride-Induced Prolactin Sides (Reduce Elevated Prolactin Caused by Amisulpride) (Reduce Prolactin WHILE ON/Still Taking Amisulpride)


AmiSulpride is a substituted benzamide which shows great efficacy in Schizophrenia and Manic patients. It also can be an effective anti-depressant and anti-anhedonic , in some cases. However, despite being an effective serotonin 5-HT 7 receptor antagonist and dopamine autoreceptor blocker (thus an effective and unique drug overall) -it has, like other anti-psychotics -  a strong prolactin boosting effect. Which needs to be remedied to prevent or reverse hormone deficiencies which may occur while taking the medication.


There are a number of ways to do this.
This is my recommended supplement stack to counter and eliminate Amisulpride's prolactin-ogenic effects. While preserving the benefits of the drug.


1.) Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate : This is a highly BIOAVAILABLE form of Vitamin-B6 which readily crosses the blood-brain-barrier where it can then rapidly reduce Pituitary Prolactin (1) (2) (3) and directly stimulate the tuberoinfundibular networks of dopamine neurons and projections (4) (5) (6) (7).


My recommended LAB-TESTED P5P supplement is below.


2.) Pantethine :  Pantethine is a special form of PANTOTHENIC Acid (Vitamin B-5) which should be taken 4 HOURS AWAY from P5P and should be SECONDARY and IN ADDITION to P5P. That means emphasize the dose of P5P more than Pantethine; use appropriate doses of both but the main sup here is still P5P. Pantethine has been shown to decrease estrogen-related-Prolactin release as well as drug-induced Prolactin; though again, to a lesser extent than P5P. Still should be added to your regimen though. It Works. 


3.) American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) : This herb is the final and one of the most important additions to your Prolactin-Inhibiting Stack. This is NOT the same as Chinese or Korean Ginseng so it's important the genus/species is exactly as above - but to make it easier I put a link to a valuable and certified AG brand below. American Ginseng decreases Prolactin (8) AND serotonin (5-HT) (9) which then improves sex drive and corrects hormone deficiencies caused by Amisulpride.

    1. Yes, it works Unknown, you just have to follow directions below. Read my reply to Petar's comment below, refresh page first. I know, Amisulpride is a great drug if not for the Prolactin effects. Though, at higher doses you gotta be careful of QTc interval prolongation, especially if you are a female {https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4623652/}.

    1. Off and On, Yes. I use it for occasional Anhedonia/Depression though. It works great for both. Unfortunately, any dose of it raises Prolactin even 50 mg - 100 mg.
