My husband takes divalproex sodium ER for bipolar and jerking but now his tremors are worse. If he changes to Lamictal, will he still experience tremors?
Divalproex sodium ER vs Lamictal?

Hi, lizzie jane!
Tremors often affect about 1-10% of users with Lamictal but every person's response to medications is different. Just because you have a problem with one it doesn't necessarily mean you will on a different drug.
Best regards to you both,
