What Causes OCD After Taking Solian?
Question: Hi,
I am on Lexapro 5 mg, Klonopin 2 mg, Keppra 1000 mg for six weeks and one day and Solian (amisulpride) 100 mg. Keppra is doing since last friday a full effect, 100 %, but not all the time and i still have some downsides that make me feel bad. I would like to know if i'll have less and less downsides and a sustained full effect more often. I would like to say that even if i have some "OCD like" symptoms, they are not exactly ocd but automatisms probably caused by dopaminergic activity of Solian at low dosage.
Thanks, XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
Yes you will see sustained mood stabilisation with time
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX thanks for asking again from HCM
This is a good thing that you are getting full 100% effects with Keppera. Try to remain calm. Episodic downsides of mood are seen in each and every person. Try to ignore these mood swings. You are absolutely normal now, so no need to worry. In coming time you will have more sustained mood stabilisation and you will seem betterment in your mood. No need to worry about the automatisms. Automatisms doesn't present with such presentation and are seen on chronic therapy with high doses. Your drug doses are absolutely fine.
Thanks, Hope this helps. Please don't hesitate to ask again for more doubts.
Take care

Dear Dr. Bishnoi,
Thanks a lot for your answer.
I just need to know not about psychological episodes, but about episodes related to the chemistry of Keppra, because i don't have episodes with mood, but with irritability linked to dopaminergic effect of Solian (probably) and i still have some, so now i need a stable amount of Keppra acting in the brain. I mean: since Keppra reached for the first time his full effect some three days ago, can i expect a definitive stabilization of Keppra in chemistry during these days (i mean for example, after just some days, maybe at the end of this week?).
Thanks again,
Regards, XXXXXXX
