Brief Answer:
Methocarbamol is not required
Detailed Answer:
Hello Madam.
I can certainly understand your concern.
I have worked through your query in detail.
First and foremost Methocarbamol should be used only when there are characteristic muscle spasms.
It's not a mood stabilizing agent at all.
Instead, Lamotrigine is a very good mood stabilizer which you already taking it.
Hence, there is no need for a muscle relaxant like Methocarbamol.
Post your further questions if any.
Thank you.
