Does Maxzide Cause Cramps In Leg Muscles With Recurring Restless Leg Syndrome?

I have recently started Maxide-25 and have had muscle cramps in my leg at night, occasional restless leg syndrome, dizziness and lack of appetite. I am on a high dose of oxycarbazapine as well which is supposed to decrease serum sodium levels. Any suggestions?

Hi..Can understand your concern..As per your query about legs cramping pain and restless leg symptoms are less likely to be a side effect of medications like maxzide and oxy carbamazepine which you are taking as it is not known to cause leg pain...Leg cramping can be due to vitamins and mineral deficiency ,lack of leg exercise or proper circulation and sometimes stressful condition or anxiety aggravates the cramping at night.You need to do exercises like streching of legs and walking .You need to take multivitamin supplements.I hope the information helps you.Take care.
