Medication and Aches

[Bluetwo]

My legs ache all the time when I started Lamotrigene.
Doctor told me to increase my water intact which includes Gatorade.
Still they ache.
Will this go away?

Thanks for the input. I'll make a appointment tomorrow with a regular doctor. And while I'm at, it I'll have my Cholesterol checked out too.

if its acking  try tums also  this helps leg cramps  or charlie horses..if its a electrolyte imbalance then you need a blood test asap!!!!!!!!  Gatorade's ok  but for this you need more of potassium magnesm  and salt to make it up..so get a blood test to determine this cause..

They probably believed you were losing electrolytes. That's what Gatorade is for. I've had that effect with some medications and it works well in that regard. If it doesn't go away tell them again and they could see what to do including having your electrolytes tested if needed.
