Alan,
I lived in the Philippines and used Sulpiride along with a psychostimulant type antidepressant, Amineptine, (a modified tricyclic) with great results. I have never responded well to SSRIs. My general symptoms are apathetic type depression with chronic fatigue symptoms. Plus some irritability, temper and manic type symptomology and behavior thrown in, but not in any recognizable cycle.
I have since been diagnosed as ADD, innattentive type with HYPOactivity - this sounds more right to me than anything ever has. I am currently on Adderall (an ADD stimulant) and Buspar (wimpy anti anxiety med). I am almost ready to ditch the Buspar and try an AP along with the Adderall because the Sulpiride did work so well for me. But, I will hang in there and give the Buspar a full trial. There are no side effects - I'm just not sure it is doing anything.
I think - and Andrew or one of those guys can correct me if I'm wrong - that Mirapex is supposed to be the closest thing to Sulpiride, chemically, on our shores. I may be giving this a try soon.
Sulpiride was excellent for social phobia, fatigue, and I believe, the prevention of migraines. I RARELY had a headache when on this med with the amineptine.
Good luck. Hope this info helps.
Karen
