Hello.....
Can't find any info on web.
Some drugs used for epilepsy are now being used here in uk for bipolar such as depakote .I think some weird but pleasant symptoms I xperience is due to the effexor I take (the only med at the moment) without it it's bigtime scarey.
Why would you want to treat the sensations if you kinda~sorta enjoy them?
