Keppra And Vimpat
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

My husband is currently taking 2500mg of keppra daily and also 400mg of Vimpat. Since he has been on the medication he has lots of symptoms, headaches, dizziness, slurred speech, blurry vision, unstable feelings and tounge going numb. He hasnt had a seizure since being on the meds but is it going to be okay long term to be on so much medication? He also has mood swings and anger. Any advice?
