Watch out for sulpiride or L-sulpiride if you're a woman: they might mess your endocrine system up: this usually happens to women who are prone to experience severe mood shifts because of hormones; of course everyone it's different, but please be careful, particularly if the pill makes you more depressed, it's very likely you'll have a negative effect on these drugs. Moreover you are prone to breast tumors with sulpirides;
There are many dopaminergic drugs out there that you can try that won't have this unpleasant effects and that can be even more effective.
I personally took L-levosulpiride : it messed my period up and i felt miserable within a month. It took me some time to get rid of the drug-induced depression.
