EPS uncommon with these drugs.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
I can understand your concerns.
Lithium, depakote, geodon and lamictal all have their individual side effects.
But E.P.S. (extra pyramidal symptoms) with each drug is uncommon.
Its unfortunate that you are facing E.P.S with these drugs.
I request you to kindly mention the symptoms (as side effects) what you are experiencing after taking these drugs.
Lithium, depakote and lamictal all are mood stabilisers.
They are given in combination only when the episodes are not resonding to a single drug.
Your symptom details will help me to guide to in a better and specific way.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Take care.
Thanks.
