Long Term Effects Of Espiride (Page 2)

Updated

Esperide anti-depressant drug - long time use:

I have been on esperide for at least 4 years continuously, varying between 2 - 4 capsules a day. The effects were quite significant - i was always tired, even after sleeping for 8 - 12 hrs; i was always grumpy; i forget many things; long & short term, i stopped having my period after 2 yrs & didn't have them for 3 yrs. It felt like i was comotosed; had no interest in things i previously loved, like sit coms & comedy, etc. I had no more energy and was freezing cold in the summer; i was not interested in intimacy. then checked with my gynea why certain hormone levels were extremely high. In the last 2 months I changed to a new anti-depressant - I'm now a new person, periods have come back, laughing again, remembering again, loving again, the anger is gone and I don't get so cold any more. I can't wait to go back to gym and exercise.

I am taking espiride to help me get off Paxil. I suffer from anxiety. I have trouble stopping myself from irrational thoughts (all financial worries). I find espiride keeps me calm and focussed.

I am on Espiride to stop anger and road rage I am experiencing due to frustrations in my life always being at the surface, so its interesting that Espiride is causing anger in some of you. But the Espiride is causing hectic fatigue, feels like Iv taken half a sleeping tablet and is affecting my ability to function at work. In response to some people having difficulty with Wellbutrin, I was on it for a short time and had alot of side effects, severe anger being one of them. Im normally a very chilled person so having all these meds for anger is new to me. If you are needing a tranquilizer just to take the edge off at times ask your psychiatrist for Tranquipam, it puts you cloud 9 for a couples hours but the next morning you are great again.

I have been on Espiride Capsules 500 mg for the past 3 months to stimulate breast milk supply of which it has helped a lot as I battled with milk supply with my previous baby. The challenge now is that I have an extremely low low libido, that's even putting it mildly, I have no libido, something I have never experienced before as such I don't feel like being intimate with my husband. He tries foreplay and everything possible to get me aroused but I don't get aroused at all thus making it impossible to be intimate. Can the loss of libido be a side effect of these pills?

I have been on espiride for 2 years following diagnoses of NF2 (brain and spinal tumours) and following brain surgery. It was given to me to help my constant vertigo. I've heard that long term use increases your risk of osteoperosis - anyone else heard of this? I'm not depressed but I do sleep up to 18 hours a day. Thanks

Hi Licia,

When you were weaning yourself after going back on espiride, did you start with the last dosage before stopping? Have you completed the weaningnow?

Hi, I know this is an old post but I'm going to reply anyway. I've been given espiride together with lyrica and trepiline to reduce pain and not as an anti-depressant. I haven't experienced side effects before but now on a higher dosis I am experiencing breast tenderness. i feel that the side effects of espiride is not worth it and I'll rather change medications because of the various side effects of espiride.

I had a similar experience, could be your immune system or your adrenaline glands at fault, There's a thing called Adrenaline gland fatigue syndrome when your body starts developing allergies for no reason, anyway speak to your Doctor,get him to do some tests; The best of luck

Hi there. My Dr put me on Esperide due to the depression caused by Fibro. No it does not solve the Fibro but yes it has lifted my mood that I am not angry all the time. It has given me some sort of life back.
