<s>[INST] I m taking phenobarbiton 90mg and eptoin 100mg at night for last 12 years, as I suffered from epilepsy. I m 39 years old. last couple of years I feel very shivering while I face a croud. hands through out the body starts shievering, that I met the neufologist and she prescribed betacap 20. can I know about this? does betacap increases weight or makes dryness in mouth? can it control bp? thanks in advance [/INST] I read your question and I understand your concern.From your description the neurologist must have considered your episodes as related to anxiety, a panic disorder. They are not due to your epilepsy treatment (on the other hand in epileptic patients anxiety or mood disorders are found more often than in the general population).Regarding your questions on Betacap, it is a drug which causes neither weight gain nor mouth dryness, do not fear about that, usually those effects are linked with anti-depressants. It is a drug belonging to the beta blockers class and apart from being used for panic disorder (like in your case) it is also used to treat high blood pressure, so if that is an issue as well it should help.I hope to have been of help. </s>
