Well, After a few weeks on Vimpat I will have to say YES..I've been having dreams like you wouldn't believe.
So I'm currently on some different medications. Two of which, the Zonisamide and Depakote, I've been on for a couple years but the effectiveness of the medication has worn off and I've started having seizures again every week to every month. Just recently my neurologist has wanted to switch me to Xcopri and has talked about RNS while taking this medication but this medication isn't covered by my insurance at all.
