Hi, Thanks for posting your query. I am happy to address your questions, Espiride contains the active ingredient sulpiride, which is a type of medicine called an antipsychotic. It is used to treat the psychiatric illness schizophrenia. Sulpiride works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain. Dopamine is a natural compound called a neurotransmitter. These are chemicals that are stored in nerve cells and are involved in transmitting messages between the nerve cells. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter known to be involved in regulating mood and behaviour. you should not suddenly stop taking this medicine, even if you feel better and think you don t need it any more. This is because the medicine controls the symptoms of the illness but doesn t actually cure it. This means that if you suddenly stop treatment your symptoms could come back. Stopping the medicine suddenly may also rarely cause withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, difficulty sleeping or tremor. When treatment with this medicine is stopped, it should be done gradually, following the instructions given by your doctor. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help. Thanks
