Does anyone here feel, or have felt, very shaky from your head through your jaw, shoulders, arms from medication? Not the standard "med hand tremor"- this is more of an entire upper body trembling experience. Also fairly short of breath and fatigued?
If you have (or do), any idea which meds might cause such sensations? I'm asking because well, obviously, I am having those feelings. In the past month my Lamictal was increased from 350 to 400. My perphenazine (Trilafon) from 16mg to 20mg. Mentally and emotionally I feel quite well. Stable. Physically, I feel like I'm going to pass out. All I do is keep nodding out. I feel like Dorothy in the poppy field. I feel like crap, unless I'm asleep. This has been going on for several weeks. I'm thinking it's the Lamictal, but I believe my pdoc will deny that. I would tend to point a finger at the AP; however, I was feeling this way prior to raising the dose of the AP, yet it might be slightly worse. An interaction, perhaps? Too bad, this is how psych meds make people feel? I'm somewhat at a loss. My pdoc will pretty much leave it to me to decide what I want to do. Any and all ideas welcomed. __________________ |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
