I used to take Vimpat and I was up to 250mg. I became allergic to it going up so high. I was taken off but in the beginning I was very sleepy for the first 2 weeks. I was also on carbamazepine and another one.

I used to take vimpat but not anymore due to the side effects. Now everyone is different and side effects will vary from person to person. When i was taking it i had dizziness, double or blurred vision, drowsiness and headaches and uncontrollable shaking of the body to name a few. I have been taking Briviact for close to 2 years now and don't have any issues with it. If you are interested, go to this website; www.drugs.com Choose the letter of the drug and then look for side effects. You might also look into using a pill reminder such as one from seizuretracker.com select resources. There are also different apps to help you keep track of taking your meds. There are possibilities that supplements can cause a conflict with your meds, so you have to know your meds and what may cause a problem with a vitamin you are taking.

I am on Vimpat and have no side effects from it so far. Been on it about 3 months.

I am on Briviact and Vimpat. I am not feeling so well I am titrating up on vimpat and down on my Broviact. Today I am having double vision, nausea, with a slight headache. I too feel little weird. I am hoping I feel better once the change takes effect however, I do not like how I am feeling at this moment.
