Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Epitil is a benzodiazepines that can be used for different reason such as anxiety, sedation (help with sleep) as well as for seizure and muscle relaxation.
He can take it as prescribed by his doctor. It would not affect his blood pressure readings.
He would need additional medication to help with depression because medication does not help with this illness.
I hope this helps
