Seizures
"I have been on Vimpat for four years and have been seizure free since starting it. 

I do get a little dopey an hour after I take it; however, it&#039;s not to the degree that it interferes with work or driving. The side effects lessen the longer I&#039;ve been on it. 

I&#039;m in NC, and my insurance does cover all but a $50 copay. 

This medicine is a life saver. I&#039;ve tried Keppra, Topamax, Lamictal, and Depakote with no success.  My doctor does yearly Vimpat blood level labs to make sure I keep at a therapeutic level and also screens vitamin D and B12 levels every six months since they can be affected by Vimpat. 

Good luck on your journey."
