Vimpat
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am currently on Lamictal & Keppra. My doctor wants to add Vimpat to my current medication. I have read the side effects and I am scared. Does anyone have good experience with Vimpat?
I appreciate your help.

That's interesting as I think my body adapted to it too but it is still having a positive effect.

I was on vimpat for many years with no side effects at all. It worked very well in conjunction with keppra, but 1 day they both stopped working completely and seizures became constant. Apparently my body just became tolerant to them. It wasn't the vimpats fault!

My daughter takes 400 mg a day of Vimpat it really seems to help so far . She has been on it almost 3 months.
