What Causes Leg Tremors Along With Slurred Speech While On Lamictal?
God afternoon Dr. Rynne, Hi I am Anthony Carrelli with Bipolar 2 and already on Gabapentin and ellavil. I started Lamictal about three weeks ago ever since then I have gotten more and more limb shakes and insteadiness as well as slurred speaking. I pulled back on the Lamictal from 2 50mg down to 1 50 as a precaution. Should I get totally off of it.. I also use Lorazepam, but with one pill or no pills per day. VTY, Anthony Carrelli

Hello,
The shaking and unsteadiness indicates neurological dysfunction most likely and the doses of Lamictal needs adjustment or molecule alteration. Kindly approach your neurologist for further guidance in this instance before deciding to switch off any medicine or other.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
