Since starting on Madepar 100/25 for possible Parkinson’s symptoms (the neurologist has not definitely diagnosed Parkinson’s yet as I have Parkinsonian symptoms after being on Epilim for at least 10 yrs as a migraine preventative treatment. I have been told that it can take up to 12 mths for ones metabolism to return to normal if you don’t have Parkinson’s and the symptoms are in fact from the drug. Since being on the madepar I find I am more outspoken, highly strung, and more extroverted.

What are the effects of combining lexamil, concerta and a birth control pill. I have a friend who seems to have become extreme in emotional and irrational behaviours and thought patterns. ## Has she consulted her doctor? Basically all 3 of the medications you mentioned can have an effect on body chemicals and mood, so it may just be too much for her to handle, but only a consult with her doctor will help her get to the root of the problem. One that may be very problematic is the Escitalopram in the Lexamil, it can actually backfire in some people and cause the opposite of its intended effect. ## Long term effects of the combination of Lexamil, Epilim, Concerta, Wellbutrin and Triphasil. Diagnosed Bipolar II and ADHD, going through an acute depressive episode and Lexamil was only added r...

I am on 300 mg Epilim for Bipolar disorder and 25mg of Serez. I stopped taking Serez after sleeping for 12 hours straight and have been drowsy for 2 days. Please help and explain the reason for this. ## Is this your first time taking both of these medications together? Based on my research, (Serez) Quetiapine may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, weight changes and sedation. Many of which correspond to your description. Something else you may want to be aware of is that other drug articles note that more than 1 in 100 people who take (Epilim) Sodium Valproate, experience "sleepiness" as a common side effect. So it seems as though both of your medications could be causing you to sleep a lot more and feel drowsy at the same time. Unfortunately the only way...

Yes, Gabapentin can be taken with this medications, as long as your doctor is monitoring you regularly to keep tabs on things. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight gain.

HELP!! My daughter has been on EPILIM for 6 years and gained a lot of weight on it. She went on TOPAMAX (a year now) and she's LOOSING HAIR like crazy?!?! The Dr. wants her to go on TEGRATOL but I see allot of people are complaining about both HAIR LOSS and WEIGHT GRAIN on it? I am also considering ZARONTIN. Does anyone have personal experience with this medication? ## These types of side effects are common to most anti-seizure medications and you may never find one that won't cause one or the other. Tegetrol contains the active ingredient Carbamazepine. Zarontin contains the active ingredient Ethosuximide How old is she? ## EPILIM is an old AED (anti epileptic drug). I've been on it for 37 yrs.. it definitely has a hair fall out side effect and tremoring of the hands... yes...

Someone I know was diagnosed with biopolar and depression. Have a background of substance abuse. He was put only on epitec 50mg twice a day. His saddenly stopped the epitec and have suicidal idees and even tried too. Is it possible that the background of substance abuse can cause biopolar and should the epitec be incresed? ## Are Epitec the generic of Epilim ## Hello, Tracie! How are you? Yes, it is definitely possible for substance abuse to cause such problems. But as to increasing the medication, that is up to his doctor, he may also need stronger medications. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Epitec (Lamotrigine) as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and mood swings. Thus, the mood swings may also contribute to some of his problems. Maverick, no they are not the s...

is it very dangerous if i drink while i am on rivitrol although it is a very light dose ## The active ingredient in this medication is the Benzodiazepine Clonazepam. Yes, drinking while taking this medication can be dangerous for several reasons: 1) Drinking will aggravate existing side effects, making them occur more often and affect you stronger. 2) This drug can cause respiratory depression and alcohol also causes this, so combining the two could be extremely dangerous. ## I'm suffering from Bipolar 2 and takes a lot of medication. The medication is as follows: LAMICTIN 200mg; SEROQUEL 50mg; MOLPAXIN 100mg; DORMONOCT 4mg; RIVOTRIL 1mg and EPILIM CR 500mg. All of this is taken in the evening. But I'm an alcholic now and drink so much that I black out everytime I start drinking...
