> I have had panic attacks since I took Sulpiride, I got fever and was afraid it was NMS. I took ibuprofen and the fever settled and I have no muscle rigidity. Are my concerns irrational? What are the risks of getting NMS with sulpiride at low dose? You who are experienced AP users and other knowledgable people, who does one tackle such anxiety?

As compared to side effect, and the lower concerns of TD, NMS is ver very rarel\.Its interesting you responded to ibuprofen for fever -- generally only scentsminophe/paracetamool anf possibly aspirin itself eorks for me.
Sometimes I take them synergistically
But anyow, the feeling of fever or even the fever itself are things that can cause and exacerbate fever/
Nothing is irrational there, its just hypervigilance. You know you have panic attacks, everyone gets around 5 colds or fevers a year (or less) an infectious specialist told me once, and you've read up on NMS.Having said that, lots of other nasty things like ataxia, confusion, high (103-104) fevers, would surely follow.. then it is get thee to an ER;
No a lot of things, including medication lower WBC counts, but I wouldf file it as I know it, I red it, I have a cold or virus.
