A member asked:
Can trileptal cause, or aggravate, tics or muscle twitches? what should i look out for. i'm taking 75mg, at the moment, for bipolar 1 disorder.

?: It may cause tremors as a side effect, you are on a low dose though, at any rate, not all listed side effects should be be experienced. Keep a diary of your symptoms for next appointment with your doctor and discuss with him/her, as you are on other medications too, which don't seem to interact, good luck
