Is Stressful Dreams And Disturbed Sleep Due To Discontinuing Sulpitac Tablet Taken For Anxiety?
Hi, I have been given 1/2 of Sulpitac 50 for anxiety, to be taken every night. I took it for 2 months. Then I took it on alternate days for the next 1 week, and then discontinued it. After discontinuing it I am getting some stressful dreams and my sleep is disturbed. Is this a result of stopping the drugs. If so, in what way can I take leave the drug so that it does not cause such an effect ?

Hi,
Amisulpride tablets are indicated for the treatment of acute and chronic anxiety and other thought disorders and/or negative symptoms such as blunted affect, emotional and social withdrawal).
Acute withdrawal symptoms including nausea, vomiting and insomnia have been described after abrupt cessation of high doses of anti-psychotic drugs. Other side effects are Insomnia, anxiety, agitation, orgasmic dysfunction. Please see your psychiatrist immediately.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
