> Sorry, I didn't take Sulpiride but I did take Amisulpride. It definitely helped with negative thoughts and situational anxiety, but then pooped out after 4-5 months. I stopped taking it, then restarted about 3 months later. It had the same efficacy as when I had first started. However, I ran out of pills and the place I ordered it from ran out of stock, so I haven't been on Amisulpride since. I consider it a great additive for Social Anxiety, in combination with one of the following: adrafinil or small dose klonopin. Search the boards for other combos using sulpiride or amisulpride, as I remember there were a few people who had success with specific combos.

Side effects for me included drowsiness in for the first couple weeks, but not much else.
