Tiaprid for depression?
I was recently prescribed Tiaprid for depression (1 pill in the evening). I read this medication is for alcohol withdrawal symptoms and tremor. Does somebody have experience using it des depression? It seems odd to me.

2 Reactions@theotherone Beware auto-correct as it can be treacherous. And yes, it does have it's own mind!!! Why Tiaprid for depression? Curious.

2 ReactionsHi, @theotherone. I've not seen members here discussing that particular medication before, but I'm guessing that somewhere in their journeys with depression some of our members may have heard of this. I'm wondering if @hopeful33250, @peach414144, @jimhd, @sallie, @amberpep or @gman007 may have any thoughts?
@theotherone -- how has your experience with tiapride gone so far?

1 Reaction@lisalucier Actually, I don't know. I haven't noticed some new symptoms. But I have problem with being always sleepy and I am not sure if that is the side effect.

1 Reaction@theotherone Sleepiness is often a side effect when you first begin a new med for depression. It will often lessen after several weeks of treatment. Usually, the positive effects of the med also take a few weeks before you notice the difference.
Stay in touch with your doctor if you are unsure about any side effect.
