Espiride Vs Lexamil

I used espiride for a year while breastfeeding, not realizing it is a antideppresant. That was in 2011. A few months ago my dr prescribed lexamil to me for chronic tired syndrome? I have gained 7kg in six months? Is espiride and lexamil more or less the same? I would rather use espiride?

Hello, Es! How are you?

Actually, the Espiride contains Sulpiride, which is an atypical antipsychotic, though it is also used to treat major depressive disorder, it is not an actual antidepressant. But the Escitalopram in the Lexamil is an SSRI class antidepressant.

As to going back to it, have you discussed the issue with your doctor?

What are you taking them to treat?
