Does Lyrica Interact With Epilim?
Hi. I take Lyrica 5mg twice daily for an old back injury. I also take epilim 700mg twice daily for partial seizures relating to a tumor that was removed. I m currently taking docytab as a malaria preventative treatment and my seizures have increased significantly. I m trying to establish potentially negative interactions between these meds? Steven

Hi,
Both Lyrica and Epilim may act as anti epileptic drugs, both together may cause drowsiness and confusion. But don't increased seizures. But doxycycline or out-dated tetracycline may increased seizures or pseudotumor cerebral. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
