Thanks. I don't know what to do. I really don't. It sounds like a motivating med which is different from other neuroleptics I have tried. The others knock me out. But painful engorged breats is not something I can handle. *SCREAMS!*
I hate all of this so much. I want to be normal. I don't want to think about meds anymore. Why can't I have an other problem. Well I do, but still.Maxime
> I haven't tried sulpiride, but I have tried its close relative amisulpride. Excellent med at low doses for depression, anhedonia, social anxiety. Its effects can be felt the first day, but it really takes about a month for best results.
