Patient: Hi sir, I am a degree student,i had started my medicine course from 2007..starting with encorate chrono 200 for epilepsy ,but gradually my condition got worse,and started to get shaked up..then i started having encorate 300 along with levipil 250..after 2-3 years..i started getting shivering problems with ma hands ,my hands do shiver when i do each and every work..I dont know y this shivering came..and i had found that..its more seen when iam concentearting and working..when i get tensed ..its found morre..what should i do..should i continue with the same medicine??is ther any side effects for these medicines..please help me out..?? Doctor: hi..well, this may be a form of drug-induced tremor possibly arising out of valproate..anxiety may also be a cause..whatever is the case, you should consult with your neurologist regarding proper dose-adjustment of the drugs you are taking..you can also repeat your EEG again if you are seizure-free for a considerable period..have a good health..thanks..
