I emailed My Neurologist today about the Med. She said it has been approved and if I still want to try it She'll change My Vimpat to it.
I’ve taken Xcorpi bc my dr told me it’s too new on the market to sell the generic. If that’s the same med it worked great for my seizures. The side effects can harm u if u use more then 12.5mg 1x/day. Once I went up to 50mg I noticed a huge difference in my thinking. It can make it hard to think straight & feel unconfused.
Unfortunately, it's another drug... controlled substance
I heard it’s new on the market & no generic brands. They only sell in 100mg at the pharmacy. And yes, I have tried it. I started w/12.5mg for 2wks, 25mg for next 2wks, 50mg for 2wks then I was supposed to take 100mg. Bad side effects so I stopped taking it.
