as sienna said, it is the gold standard for mood stabilization in bipolar disorder (an AED- anti-epilepsy drug). it has lots of side-effects, and while some pdocs use it in treatment resistant panic patients, it really isn't worth it. the proper treatment for panic (i'm taking this from your posting name) is the benzo class of medications. ADs, particularly ssris, often make symptoms worse. take care, judy
