Aripiprazole was way too activating for me. The amisulpride you're tapering off - I've tried that before and it gave me terrible akathisia.

For some people, aripiprazole is great. It's not generally sedating and it quite often induces weight loss (which is only good if you're too overweight!).

Although if you keep trying with the aripiprazole, it might become less activating with time.

	PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student. I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out. I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included. Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
