Q: hi i am currently on tofranil and xanax for depression and anxiety. my doc added sulpiride 50mg twice a day. is it safe to take it because i read it is fo r treating psychosis
Hi, Klu. If this is the same doctor who put you on the other two meds, I think you can assume that the doctor knows what he's doing and thinks it's worth a try. You can ask a pharmacist about it, too, but sometimes drugs for psychosis are used for severe depression in some cases, depending on symptoms, so I wouldn't worry about it for that reason. My son and I have both taken anti-psychotics without being psychotic.
I hope that helps, but if you're really worried about it, talk to your doctor again. Thanks for writing in here.
