Has Anyone Ever Had Joint Pain From Taking VIMPAT?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Farmersburg, IN

I started taking Vimpat about 2 years ago. About two months later I started having joint pain. The joint pain has only gotten worse and spread. I don't know for sure if the pain is caused by the Vimpat or not, but has anyone else ever developed joint pain from taking Vimpat? I have no history of joint injuries or joint diseases in my family. I also take Oxtellar(trileptal)

The doctors tested one medication that was unsuccessful while i was hospitalized, before testing Vimpat over a 24 hour period, and then i was released. I’ve been out for nearly 2 weeks now, and i haven’t had any seizures… read more

Vimpat And Weight Lose

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Southampton, UK

I was just wondering if anyone knows if vimpat can cause weight loss? The weight is just falling off me. I've lost another 2 and a half pounds in a week. I'm not sure if something else is causing it but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this with vimpat?

Issues With Vimpat

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Halifax, NS

Before Christmas I went through roughly a six week changeover from Lamotrigine to Vimpat. The only real problem that I have had is with my teeth and jaw. I am doing a lot more clenching on the vimpat which is resulting in pain in my jaw and TMJ inflamation. The TMJ imflamation is also resulting in teeth being loose and shifting. I have never had this type issue on dilantin, carbamazipine or lamotrigine. The problem only came up since the change to Vimpat. This has not been really noted as a side… read more
