Is Finlepsin used as a sedative?
Is finlepsin used as a sedative in therapy? The psychiatrist prescribed it to me in order to calm me down and calm me down. Is it right? The leaflet clearly states that it is an anti-epileptic and anti-convulsive drug. Did I get the right medication?

According to the documentation of Finlepsin, it is indicated for the treatment of epilepsy, idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia and glossopharyngeal neuralgia, diabetic retinopathy pain, prevention of bipolar disorder and prevention of seizures in alcohol withdrawal syndrome.
Doctors do not always recommend taking medications according to generally accepted indications. This is called off-label https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/leczenie-off-label-poza-wskazaniami. The action of the active substance may prove effective in the treatment of ailments that have not been registered in the drug dossier.
Finlepsin contains carbamazepine, which works by blocking synaptic sodium channels, inhibiting repetitive neuronal discharge and reducing synaptic transmission. The mechanism of action of the substance can be used to reduce extreme mood swings and feelings of arousal.
If you have any doubts about the prescribed medicine, it is worth reporting them to your attending physician.

To @Angela:
If you have any doubts as to the validity of the recommendation of the drug, you should consult your doctor again.
You can also take advantage of teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
My daughter was also prescribed this drug by a psychiatrist, but in the leaflet she writes that she is against epilepsy, although my daughter is not epileptic, and I wanted to calm down and now I have.
