Long Term Effects Of Espiride
(Newest replies first)

Esperide anti-depressant drug - long time use:

I have been on esperide for at least 4 years continuously, varying between 2 - 4 capsules a day. The effects were quite significant - i was always tired, even after sleeping for 8 - 12 hrs; i was always grumpy; i forget many things; long & short term, i stopped having my period after 2 yrs & didn't have them for 3 yrs. It felt like i was comotosed; had no interest in things i previously loved, like sit coms & comedy, etc. I had no more energy and was freezing cold in the summer; i was not interested in intimacy. then checked with my gynea why certain hormone levels were extremely high. In the last 2 months I changed to a new anti-depressant - I'm now a new person, periods have come back, laughing again, remembering again, loving again, the anger is gone and I don't get so cold any more. I can't wait to go back to gym and exercise.

Good day,

Could it be the espiride (50mg) that is causing my breasts to be painful and bigger? Looks like the breasts of a pregnant woman.

I was prescribed Espiride for breastfeeding the day I gave birth. I've been on it for about 10 months, taking it almost 3 times a day. I have recently stopped taking it as I plan to stop breastfeeding but now I feel like a different person. I'm depressed, emotional, unhappy with my life. It is now affecting my studies, my moods etc. is this normal? Do you think I need to seek medical attention? I've even had suicidal thoughts... no attempts though.

Hi,

I have been on Espiride 50 mg per day for the last 3 weeks. I have never been pregnant and I don't tend to gain weight easily.

Will this dosage:
- affect my weight gain tendency - leading to weight gain?
- will it cause breast enlargement?
- I feel constant muscle pain especially neck and back - is it due to the medicine?

Hi there. My Dr put me on Esperide due to the depression caused by Fibro. No it does not solve the Fibro but yes it has lifted my mood that I am not angry all the time. It has given me some sort of life back.

I had a similar experience, could be your immune system or your adrenaline glands at fault, There's a thing called Adrenaline gland fatigue syndrome when your body starts developing allergies for no reason, anyway speak to your Doctor,get him to do some tests; The best of luck

Hi, I know this is an old post but I'm going to reply anyway. I've been given espiride together with lyrica and trepiline to reduce pain and not as an anti-depressant. I haven't experienced side effects before but now on a higher dosis I am experiencing breast tenderness. i feel that the side effects of espiride is not worth it and I'll rather change medications because of the various side effects of espiride.
