After having a seizure (1st time) and ending up in the hospital ER, all tests were negative but the dr. mentioned that the seizure could be due to medication side effects of medication interactions. I'm on many meds for fibromyalgia, asthma, type II diabetes, chronic pain, insomnia & anxiety. So I'm starting my check-off list with this medication.

Thank you for your response. I'm still waiting for a call from my dr. I've printed out the pages with my other meds and their interactions. I was quite astounded by the interactions with each other that I found. This is a great site because I don't know if my different drs. look at interactions between drugs thoroughly enough.
Most welcome, amazingly you are correct on the observations of the doc these days, take care, be well & safe!
