I was recently prescribed Vimpat 200mg Tablets for my epilepsy. The doctor told me it works by calming overactive nerves in the brain. I've been taking it for a few weeks now and wanted to share my experience. I've noticed some side effects like dizziness and drowsiness, but nothing too severe yet. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Any tips on managing side effects? Also, I'm curious about the potential for increased suicidal thoughts; has anyone else dealt with this issue? Any advice on keeping track of changes in mood? The list of possible side effects is pretty long, so I’m a bit concerned.

I had such bad double vision with this med that I had to switch. It was terrible.

I've been on Vimpat for a while and the dizziness did go away after a few weeks. Hang in there! Just make sure to keep your doctor updated on any changes.

I experienced some memory issues at first, but they got better over time. Just be patient with yourself.

Seriously, though, contact your doctor if you feel any changes in your vision. I ignored it for a while and it was a mistake.
