Hello Dears,
I am planning to give sulpiride another chance because it worked well for my anticipatory anxiety though I was only on it for a few days. But somewhere I read a similar drug called risperdal caused severe withdrawal in some patients and some even commit suicide months after going off it. This is what worries me. Are there anyone in this board with a long term experience with sulpiride? After being on it for a week or so, it made my sleep much deeper and it was the reason why I left it. But now I understand sulpiride is a really unique molecule. At low doses it eliminates the whole anxious feelings of this universe. No other drug can match it.
I just need to take 100mg a day to utilize that wonderful anxiolysis. Will this lead to tardive dyskinesia? Will there be any problem if I stop it after long term exposure? Please advise

Haven't had sulpiride but its nearest neighbour I beleive - amisulpride.
Took it for 10 weeks then stopped cold turkey, big big mistake, ok for 6 days then all hell broke loose, REAL HELL!!
However good news is that when I went back on at and tapered over 5 weeks, no problems at all!!Hope this helps
