Does taking Esperide tablets affect a persons weight? ## Esperide contains the active ingredient Sulpiride, which is an atypical antipsychotic and yes, most medications in this class cause some type of weight gain in people that take them regularly. Learn more Espiride details here. Has your doctor prescribed this for you? ## Do you live in the United States? If not how did you get a doctor to prescribe Sulpiride since its not available in the US? I'm wondering because I have Schizophrenia and really wanted to try this drug. ## My brother gets Dogmatil (Sulpiride) from his psych, mailed to him. He can't write a script for it, because yes, the FDA has not approved it. Where the psych gets it from - who knows?

How do I lose weight while on esperide? Have been on esperide for about 4 months and I feel great. But since I've been on esperide I've struggled to lose weight. Is there a way to lose weight while using esperide? ## Hello, Lois! How are you? According to reports by the U.S. FDA, this class of medications is well known as causing weight gain as a side effect, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache and mood swings. Unfortunately, there isn't really a way to prevent it, or lose much, while still taking it, but you can try to control it by eating a healthy, low-fat diet and getting lots of exercise. How much have you gained? Or are you just at a stalemate on losing?

Hi. I am on Paroxetine 40mg for about 15 years. I had a lot of stress lately. Suffering from stomach pain, headaches, tiredness. A Dr. Prescribed Esperide 50m 3x per day. Can you take it with Paroxetine? I haven't started taking it yet. Tried a few years ago to ween off paroxetine by drinking 20mg, and it was a nightmare. I am very scared of all these side effects.

I take 50mg esperide a day. I am post menopause. My breasts are very sore, could this be due to the drug? ## Espiride contains Sulpiride, which is an antypical antisychotic and yes, some women may experience breast tenderness, when taking it, but you should consult your doctor to be certain that it is due to the medication.

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...

My wife suffers from a dry mouth. Drinking water and chewing gum do not help much. She uses esperide, enap5, purata and adco-zolpiden. Could any of these be the culprit?. Can you advise. Regards. ## Hello, Jan! How are you? Any and all of them could be the culprit. Dry mouth is very common with most medications. When I had that problem, I found that sucking on sugarless sour candy usually helped. Otherwise, there really isn't much to be done about it, other than keep her mouth moist. Taking small sips of water or even lemon water frequently can help, along with the candy and mints. Does anyone else have any ideas to add? ## Most people get that from meds. I use the mouth wash (Biotene?). I found a way to use that mixed with a little silicone (drug stores sell it) & water. Use a ...

My usual medication is Verahexzal SR240mg, Migroben 160mg. These have been added to reduce my blood pressure * Puresis 20mg, * Plenish K, * Esperide and this last week Biliocor 5mg. These last few days I have been feeling lack of energy and a bit breathless - I would appreciate your professional comments? ## Yes, these medications can cause these issues as side effects, according to NIH reports. I had a similar issue, when I was taking Bisoprolol, the active ingredient in Biliocor. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased urination. However, it is always a good idea to check your blood pressure, since it may indicate low blood pressure, or other possible cardiac issues. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?

However I developed a deeper depression. I was diagnosed as a manic depressive in my twentys and cilifit makes it worse. So the doctor put me on Eglonol as i did not want anything too strong. However I've gained weight. and I'm wondering if it is from the eglnol. It does help me in getting through my daily routine. I've put on 8 kilograms, 17.6 pounds after taking eglonol, in a period of three months. Can someone give me an indication. I do know that esperide is supposed to be a generic of eglonol, and it's side effects are mass gain.... CAN ANYONE HELP? ## Weight gain is a very prominent side effect o...
