Your doctor knows: better, hence his/her judgement and prescription, Espiride (sulpiride) is an antidepressant, no alternative in the USA, however, all psychiatric medications are given with caution as they can interact with other medicines, so your doctor knows your condition and the medicines you are on, keep the follow up and discuss your worries on the next call/visit, wish you wellness
