Can Testosterone Supplements Be Taken While On Keppra XR And Lamictal?
Question: I currently take 3500 mg of Keppra Xr and 200 mg of Lamictal per day. This is following a brain tumor resection from 2008. Is it safe to take any sort of natural Testosterone booster such as Tribulus, Nugenix, etc...? I can't seem to get a straight answer from my neurologist. I need an energy or some kind of boost to get back in the gym. I have a very physical job and this lack of strength and energy is starting to effect it. Thank you.
Brief Answer:
Get investigated as advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Is your seizure well controlled?
If yes then medications can be tapered slowly.
Provide details of tumor as hormonal tumor may reoccur.
Usually natural supplementation will not be a problem but strength is not much affected by these medications.
Get vitamin B 12, vitamin D, Thyroid profile done.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
