A naturalistic study was conducted in general practice in Portugal on the efficacy and tolerance of low doses of amisulpride in the treatment of dysthymia. A total of 109 patients received low doses (50 – 100 mg) of amisulpride for four weeks. A global evaluation showed good or very good efficacy and tolerance in more than 80% of the patients. The social disability observed at baseline was significantly improved after the four-week treatment period. Few adverse events were observed and only four patients dropped out due to side effects. Our results suggest that low doses of amisulpride might be a safe and effective treatment for dysthymia in clinical practice.
