Brief Answer: Drug Timing and Tolerance Detailed Answer: Hi. Sorry to hear about your shakiness/wobbliness. Unfortunately Lyrica and Trileptal are both known to cause this issue. In my experience, many patients will develop a tolerance to this side effect as time goes on (4-6 months). Have you been using these meds that long? If not, give yourself some time to get used to the medication. The other thing i Can suggest is that you take your evening dose just before you go to bed, so that you are in no danger of falling or feeling the wobbliness while sleeping. I hope this helps. If there is anything else I can help you with please feel free to ask. Thanks for coming to HealthCareMagic.com
