Hi juls

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? I do not use this medication but I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck with this if you have been prescribed it. I have just been reading about it on *WebMD, and I have pasted its two main uses below:

*Control of all types of epilepsy (generalised, partial or other epilepsy)

Treatment of manic episodes in bipolar disorder

It comes with a lot of cautions and interactions so please keep your GP / Medical Specialist up to date with how you are getting on with this drug. I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hope sand dreams for you

Ken
