I seemed to work well with taking Vimpant, but with insurance is was $600 a month. Any idea of how to get it cheaper. I was exercising before [[treatment:Keppra:5508b44d6bcd6155dd0008e5]] and am weepy, felling sorry for my self.

Xcopri And Side Effects
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I finally got my license back a year ago after achieving seizure control (yay) with Lamictal and Topamax, but my doctor thinks I'm having some undetected sleep activity and the Topamax causes severe anxiety for me, so she wants to switch to Xcopri.

Pregnancy And Epilepsy Medicines?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm on several epilepsy meds and have been warned that pregnancy could be dangerous and high risk. My seizures are still uncontrolled, mostly complex partial/secondarily generalized. Was wondering if any women suffering from uncontrolled seizures and/or on Dilantin, Vimpat and/or Lamictal have had children, and if so, what your experiences were? I want kids more than anything :(
