It is a side effect of Lamictal/Lamotrigine. It will give you uncontrollable shaking of the body.

I would get the shakes! My Epileptologist gave me a cardiac med. it stopped my tremors! I was taken off Depakote . It stopped completely.!

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke ( a U.S. government site) has an excellent article on TREMORS. I found this site by Googling EPILEPSY AND UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING.
There are MANY reasons for shaking; including some other diseases ( Parkinsons to name one) which are characterized by shaking uncontrollably. I advise you to see your regular doctor for their opinion. Not every symptom can be explained by the fact that you have Epilepsy. In my opinion your neurologist is not fulfilling their role by investigating your symptoms further. Educate yourself and continue to seek more from your doctors.
I hope you find the answers you're looking for Strouper.💜

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, Yeah my first neuro was the same way. Kind of shrugged it off, gave me the normal old "drugs" answer, a pat on the butt, and then a there, there. 🙄 Paulette I of course have no clue how your neuros are where you live but if ours got any less uncaring they'd probably just take me in the back of the office and shoot me. Oh and it's always the drugs, the drugs, the drugs. I'm always thinking "uh if you're just going to tell me that it's the drugs anyway then why does our insurance company pay you $200+ for me to come in here? How bouts they save that money and used it toward those four ER runs I had this year for my migraines, another thing that you didn't care about."

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, oh yeah mungo mine start whenever they want to, however I have noticed that the more weight that I'm putting on my arms the worse it gets. Crawling around in the garden for instance, is a huge strain.
