Everyone is different. Some may notice it right away, with in a couple of days, others may notice a little later. The dosage can also have a part, in how soon or long it would take feeling the side effects.

Within a week I notice the impact of the side effects on me, when starting on Vimpat.

no i changed to topamax after the increase in seizures

It made me tired but over the first couple months it also increased my seizures

Hi @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , I take Vimpat 1 pill 100mg twice daily. I’ve been on it since November 2019. I think it was 2021 after I had a seizure & my blood work showed my Vimpat level was below normal & so my Neurologist increased my Vimpat by 1 one more 100mg I believe & eventually my fingers started shaking a little & so I told my Neurologist that I couldn’t take 3 & I went back to the original of 1 pill twice a day. Other than that I don’t think I’ve had any problems with the Vimpat. I don’t remember how long after I started that third Vimpat that my fingers were a little shaky. Sorry to hear about your tumor. Sending Thoughts, Hugs & Prayers that you’ll heal & get to feeling better. 🤗💜🌻🦋🙏🤗 Your friend in Texas, Becky
