Karen -Just wondering if you might be able to suggest any sources for sulpiride? Are you still getting it from the Philippines? And is a prescription required? Any luck w/the new meds you were trying?
I'm also curious about the cost (sulpiride) - like you, I doubt it would be covered by insurance. Thanks.
