That’s what my doc and pharmacist said too. I take the 200mg of the [[treatment:vimpat:5526c9df1fcaa3c8cb000399]] too but I trust my new pharmacist more than my doc now

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , Since I had a seizure September 29th, 2020 & the last time we did blood work my Vimpat level was low & so I talked with my Neurologist today & she’s increasing the dosage from 100 mg twice a day to 150 mg twice a day & so I’ll be having to use my pill cutter to make a 50 mg Vimpat. I’ll keep a watch though for change of side effects. Hope you’re doing ok. Sending Thoughts, Hugs, Smiles & Prayers. Your friend in Texas, Becky

Hello, I understand your struggle with Vimpat and Keppra(The Rage) because i used to take both drugs at the same time also. And it was difficult. As your doctor suggested Vimpat is not designed to be cut in half. Your drowsiness and dizziness are some of the side effects that Vimpat produces. There is also blurred double vision, uncontrollable shaking of part of the body and drowsiness just to name a few. I had only 7 side effects from this drug. Keppra there is anger, mood swings, loss of appetite and headaches. So yes you have a lot to deal with from just the two drugs not to mention any supplements you are taking that might be causing a conflict. You may want to talk to your doctor about how you are feeling. Keppra is a harder drug to deal with because of the many mood swings. Take care.

Thank you everyone.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member read my comment. some meds can not be cut in 1/2. vimpat is 1 of um.
