It's for when the Botox wears off after 3-4 months... I'm not sure if I need to start or not yet. He prescribes 0.5mg to be taken before bed. As you say it's to relax the vocal chord's if they need it. I'm hopeful that I won't need it.
I'm guessing it helps mimic the effect of botox on an overnight basis? I've seen it knock people out before. My own theory is the botox/relaxation helps the muscles surrounding the vocal folds become less strong - imagine if you changed bass guitar strings into guitar strings, the supporting apparatus would need to be less taut as well.
Since moving cleanly across the break is a priority of mine, my thoughts are if I'm having issues around the voice break by the time botox wears off, I'll probably take said pills, but if I'm adapting well I'd likely pass on the prescription meds or improvise my own remedies.
(Hopefully getting my Yeson trip funded today or within the next week!)
