… As far as I can gather its used to treat nervous disorders and can be used to treat ADHD (Attention Defficite Hyperactivity Disorder). Its used to help control muscle twitches and spasms as well. It can help to induce sleep and it helps to combat nightmares in post traumatic stress disorder as well and so I should think thats why you've been put on it. It seems to be quite effective and it doesnt seem to have many side effects. One or two of the side effects though are dizziness (because it lowers your blood pressure) and shortness of breath which could be why you felt like you were having a panic attack the other day. Side effects shoudl wear off though once your body adjusts to it. My anti depressants lower blood pressure and I find that as long as I dont stand up to quick or sit up too quick etc its ok. If I get dizzy, I just stand still for a min or two and hold onto something to steady myself. Does any of this help you? xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
… Oh i just started it last night. And yes that helped a lot! Thank you!! My freaking pharmacist is an ass caz I was like I need to know what this is for and he was just like, it's on this paper and then put it in the bag. whatever. I like the other pharmacist. But she's pregnant and will be gone for a bit and thats ganna suck. When i started shaking like so so bad, it was like a week after using Depakote ER 1000mg. so it got switched to ER and it got increased. Thanks for the info though. Big, big help! =)
