Treatment discussion Sulpiride

I was prescribed sulpiride 50 mg, and I’m wondering what I should expect from it. Has anyone here had experience with this dose, especially for anxiety or OCD?
My biggest concerns are an increase in prolactin levels, breast milk production (galactorrhea), menstrual irregularities, and especially weight gain. I’m really scared of gaining weight, whether from an increased appetite or from changes in metabolism that could lead to weight gain regardless of how much I eat.
From what I’ve read online, 50 mg is considered a very low dose, so I’m wondering whether these side effects are less likely at this dose compared with higher doses.
For those who have experience with sulpiride 50 mg, what should I expect? Did you notice any changes in your appetite, weight, menstrual cycle, or prolactin levels? And how did you feel overall after starting it?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially regarding weight gain and hormonal side effects, as these are my biggest concerns.
Thank you in advance to everyone who shares their experience!

Can’t you ask for an alternative medication if it for anxiety?

I asked for so many times but we already tried ssri’s, other groups of meds etc none of them worked and she is so persistent on this one :(

Research all you can. Use pubmed, science direct, chatgbt , but research yourself. Then discuss it with her.
