> When I took Sulpiride, it was under the brand name Dogmatil. Is that what you have? If so, I took one capsule, 3x a day. I took it along with a psychostimulant, Amineptine, which is sadly no longer available. A possible alternative psychostimulant might be Adrafinil, 300mg 2x a day. The max recommended for fatigue/depression is 300mg 4x a day. I will trial this soon and plan to split the tabs and start with 150mg, 2x a day and work up after a few days. Adderall is another possibility.

> I remember your symptoms as fatigue, heaviness and apathetic depression - that's you, right?> Yes, Karen. That's me. I will keep you updated, and than you for your quick response. Also, good luck with your treatment.
