My son has been taking Depakote and Lamictal together for 2-3 months and was just diagnosed with Nystagmus. I just started looking into this but when I get more answers I will post them.
Can Lamictal or depakote cause false positive screening for opiates? I am not sure about it testing positive for opiates; however, Lamictal will show a positive reading on a PCP test. Until recently it was believed to be otherwise. I will provide the documented information and studies in a follow-up post.
yes it can
Yes it was first prescribed for seizures, and later for Bipolar disorder. Answer I have epilepsy and take 2 500mg pills a day. Has helped me but can be used with other epilepsy medications to help improve the loss of seizures. I am also on Lamictal and Keppra.
Myopia itself does not directly cause nystagmus, which is an involuntary eye movement. However, severe or prolonged myopia can be associated with other conditions that might lead to nystagmus. Additionally, individuals with high myopia may experience changes in eye structure that could contribute to visual disturbances, including nystagmus. It's important to consult an eye care professional for a comprehensive evaluation if nystagmus is present.
NO! Even though Topamax and Depakote are used to treat a lot of the same things, Depakote can cause interactions with Topamax. If your doctor prescribed both prescriptions to you, I would call a Walgreen's or CVS and ask a pharmacist. They usually have one specifically to answer questions about medications. But even the website for the makers of depakote and topamax said they shouldn't be taken together.
Not really, no.
yes
Oxycodone is an orally administered opioid analgesic and doesn't cause a nystagmus of any kind. Opioids, if given intravenously can cause a very transient vertical nystagmus, but not horizontal.
Numbness would not be a common side effect of Lamictal but we "never say never".
It absolutely DOES cause bloating and abdominal distension .
Will depakote cause you to test positive for thc
yes
