Hello I had been on a codeine phosphate addiction for over 7 years in my early 20s. I was diagnosed with bipolar condition in the late 20s and after a lot of permutation and combination of prescribed drug I finally found comfort with amisulpride 100 mg. With my own efforts to limit the drug use I reduced it down to 20 mg and was doing very well mentally with it. But it brought in erectile dysfunction as amisulpride induces increased prolactin levels causing the condition as I researched it. I consulted a local doctor and he suggested I shift to Lusasidone, which I did. The erectile dysfunction disappeared but my mental state was again messed up. I had to go back to amisulpride 50 mg and my penis dead but controlled mental levels. I realize that Amisulpride without the prolactin inducing part is my only therapy. I am requesting this forum to help me find the right drug that is a combination of amisulpride (to keep my mental levels at optimum) without the prolactin inducing agents. Would be a great help for me to lead a normal decent life. Thanks again.
