I had severe mood fluctuations, agitation, paranoia, and anger issues, among other things. Couldn't contact my doctor as I was not able to be served out of state. Ultimately my trouble with the medication destroyed my marriage, my wife didn't believe that the medication was causing the issues I was having.
Yep.. same with my mom… doctors today are Quacks and Big Pharma whores - whether they know it or not
Which is overall safer for long term use if you had to pick one, depakote, carmazapine or gabapentin?
Mood flunctuations and changes - could you go into more detail about that?
A friend is taking 500mll a day for anxiety. He is now having aural delusions. Buzzing sounds. Is this a symptom of this drug?
Not living doped up
Can it cause death?
Generally no, but if you have asthma it may cause serious breathing problems if you took an overdose
Well I think I'll pass. I live with nerve damage. Been to hell and back. Don't need more crap
The side effects on the label insert of this drug or a mile long I don’t think it’s a good idea for people on this drug… Want to try curing the diabetes is causing the neuralgia
