I wasn’t even on it for a month . I started to struggle with my balance. My last day , I couldn’t walk at all . I got up to do something and fell. I tried to get up one last time and my body wouldn’t let me. I crawled to my bedroom , pulled myself up and lied down. Then when I looked up at the ceiling and my room felt like , it was spinning around . I had to close my eyes to stop that feeling. It wasn’t a fun experience.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member: I'm wondering if you had auras before starting Vimpat?

I'm just thinking that Vimpat removed the aura which warned you that a seizure was coming.

Yikes! I'm sorry to hear that happened. I didn't have anything like that, but I did experience nasty side effects with it. For me it triggered severe headaches, like cluster headache level pain.
