I am one of those people who drinks on my meds.. I know that I probably shouldn't, and I'm probably making my depression worse by drinking, but for some insane reason I drink anyways. Lamictal doesn't have a warning about drinking, (all of my other meds do), but I have noticed that since being prescribed Lamictal, I get the 'shakes' the day after I drink.
It's very strange, kind of backwards actually. Most alcoholics get the shakes after a period of not drinking, the shakes come from alcohol withdrawl. Since I've been taking lamictal, I get these shakes but only in the morning after a night of drinking. If I don't drink, no shakes, I feel fine. When I drink, the next day I shake like a leaf. Very strange, and probably a sign that I should stop... stop something...
