I have given this to patients at the end stage of their life when they become restless and extremly aggitated. It's the best thing Iv'e ever used for those who need it. They can rest very peacefully and let go of their life in peace.

Comment:
I take this medication for Bipolar disorder with Manic episodes and this drug helps tremendously. When I get manic I know it is time to take this med and I return to even mood within 24hrs. I recommend it for certain patients with certain types of bipolar disorder.
