Eglonyl and depression - is there a relationship?
Many people mistakenly equate the concept of Eglonil with depression. In fact, you need to understand that this medication is in no way an antidepressant.
The drug Eglonil and features of its use
The drug Eglonil, the instructions for use of which should be carefully studied by all patients, is exclusively an antipsychotic. Therefore, not all symptoms of depression can be treated with these pills.
The drug is prescribed for schizophrenia, acute manic states, neurotic conditions, and psychosomatic disorders. Of course, there are certain stages of depression at which Eglonil may also help you.
But don't get carried away with self-medication. You should always consult with experienced, qualified physicians. Indeed, the side effects include: insomnia, drowsiness, constipation, heartburn, vomiting, dry mouth, general malaise, menstrual irregularities, possible frigidity, weight gain.
As you can see, the drug Eglonil, about which you can find completely different reviews, is not as safe as it seems at first glance to an inexperienced person.
If you notice the very first signs of depression, simply consult your doctor immediately so that he can prescribe you herbal antidepressants that will not have a negative effect on your body.
And, most importantly, try to find out on your own the causes of depression and overcome them. A change of environment helps the best. Therefore, maybe it’s time to think about a vacation that will get rid of bad thoughts in your head?

Eglonil / sulpiride: review and experience of use
Today I want to analyze my experience of using such a well-known drug in certain circles as Eglonil. Probably, most people with neuroses seen by a doctor took this drug, since doctors simply adore it. And its action is good. But the side effects can be quite stressful.
What does Eglonil help with?
Sulpiride (the active ingredient of Eglonil) is one of the atypical antipsychotics. Atypical antipsychotics, unlike typical ones, act more gently and “hit the brain” less. The main purpose of the drug is to treat anxiety, but it is exclusively symptomatic, that is, while you drink it, there will be an effect, when you stop it, the drug is removed from the body and the effect disappears.
Eglonil has a slight antidepressant effect, so it can be used as the only drug for very mild depression, more expressed in somatic problems (sores) than psychological ones (decreased mood, etc.). Unlike some other antipsychotics, this drug does not put you to sleep, but invigorates, and therefore it is recommended to take it in the first half of the day.
Eglonil also has a good effect on diseases that have a clear cause in the head - stomach and duodenal ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome.
And, of course, Eglonil is widely used in psychiatry - in the treatment of schizophrenia and psychosis.
Eglonyl dosage
Eglonil is available in 50 mg capsules and 200 mg tablets. For neuroses, anxiety, depression and somatic diseases, 1-2 capsules per day are usually prescribed. Low doses invigorate, relieve anxiety and depression, but high doses are already used for specific psychoses.
If your doctor does not often encounter neuroses (and these are the ones who mostly sit in the regional ICP), then he may well immediately prescribe you a high dose. For example, I constantly have to remind them to prescribe 50 mg capsules, otherwise they are always eager to prescribe tablets.
How much should you take Eglonyl?
Long-term use of the drug is not recommended, since after four weeks of use, unpleasant side effects may occur. In addition, if you drink Eglonil for a long time, it stops working as it should. So focus on a maximum course of 4 weeks. Afterwards you can switch to milder drugs like atarax.
Eglonil: side effects
Now we come to the most interesting part. The drug is excellent, but what happens when you take it has caused many people to quit halfway through the course.
First of all, it affects the hormonal system. If you are a girl, you will probably notice its side effects. The breasts will swell and increase in size, but do not rush to rejoice at this - they will begin to hurt and, in the most advanced cases, also produce milk. Yes, with Eglonyl you can easily feel like a nursing mother
