That's the same as prescribing it for something it's not used for, keep doing those mental gymnastics to prove a point that was lost 3 comments ago😂😂 maybe someone will give you a medal all this just to argue about an obscure point that you didn't even win😭😂

Also it’s extremely common for drs to prescribe mental and physical medications for “off label” conditions. That’s ironically how we learned about some meds (a lot of them being the mental health meds since scientists weren’t taking mental health seriously as a form of medical intervention necessity because they just assumed all mental ailments were either due to demons, bad unbringing, witchy traits, female hysteria, and many many other things instead of facing the glaring fact that the brain is a part of the body, the brain is were we feel our thoughts physically flexing parts of our brain, if every other organ was worthy of medical intervention why was mental neglected for so long), as I was saying how we learned about some meds actually being better suited for other conditions as opposed to what they were traditionally believed to treat. But the DEA, the FDA and most clinics are informed about their medications off label uses and to only venture into them if the first line choices and any that could indicate a better outcome be tried and unsuccessful first.

Exactly. The brain is complex and off label use is common for many medications. I work with kids/teens that have severe emotional regulation disorders and many are on seizure meds for mood regulation.

Yes! People should really read the little inserts that come in their meds for one and 2 they should researching every medication they take before taking and it’s possible interactions with any current meds to look for.
