Taking Epilim 500 Cr Twice A Day For Bipolar Disorder. Smokes Marijuana As Well. Any Side Effects Of Taking Both Of Them Together?
My husband is on Epilim 500 Cr for bipolar disorder. He takes two tablets in the morning at about 7 and another in the evening between 5 and 7. I have recently discovered that he is smoking marijuana as well on a daily basis.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum. Your husband is using epilium,(valporate) and also using marijuana also, your doubt is is there any unwanted interactions, between these two. Of course there are some like, dysarthria, Delerium,expressive disorder etc But as he has no symptoms You need not worry about it. As a trial tell him that it is not a good practice,if don't accept, also there will be no problem . Wishing him a good luck . Thank you.
