What Causes Tremors While Having Lamictal With Other Medication?
Question: I am on primitive for tremors just started recently by neurologist,I am also on lamictal as mood stabilizer,I feel hyped up,and not functioning well,could it be the combination of the two drugs
Brief Answer:
can be this new drug or combination of factors
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
You are taking lamictal as a mood stabilizer and started a new drug ( I think you need to check the name of the medicine again coz primitive looks like wrong spelling), after which you developed high...
Well, the first thing is the name or salt of the new drug is required to check the interaction.
As for now, it looks like the new drug may be the culprit because it has a temporal relation with the mood switch; but there may be other factors like- biological or stress or recent febrile illness (if any), or simple sleep disturbance, etc. Which can lead tk this switch.
Kindly check the drug and tell it salt(s) for better assessment.
Good luck and speedy recovery!
