I take lamotrigine for manic depression.i also have fibromyalgia.it's it ok to take a muscle relaxer?

Probably: Most probably it is ok but you should run it by your psychiatrist.

SHOULD BE: It should be fine all depends on doses etc. Speak to your physicians about this but should not have a clear contraindication.

Complex issue: Lamotrigine is a seizure medication. It has been used by some psychiatrists as a mood stabilizer, but there is controversy. Other seizure medications are used for fibromyalgia including Neurontin and lyrica (pregabalin). It is reasonable to try a mild muscle relaxant as needed, especially at night to assist with sleep. However, your doctor should monitor all your medications carefully.

Absolutely: Muscle relaxants are medications that the american college of rheumatology highly recommends for use in fibro. There are no major interactions with lamotrigine.

Yes...: Have you ever asked about cymbalta (duloxetine)... It is the only antidepressant that is fda approved for fibromyalgia.
