Has anyone tried Vimpat yet?  If so, will you share your experiences with it (good and bad), decision to take it or not, etc.?  My doctor wants me to switch to it.  Thanks so much!

Vimpat???......Isnt that a combination of German and latin word for "verplunkt"?  ahh so thats the trick on how the Pharmaceutical companys configure on these non-dictionary names for their new drugs!!! 

SO anyways now that Miss California just officially got fired by Donald Trump today the makers of Vimpat can hire her for her extrodinary looks....no experience necessary needed to be a "drug sales rep" in order to get hired as a drug sales rep you just have to look like Miss California!!!! 

Pharmaceutical field sales repping?  Nothing to it!  Just have to go out there and smile and push yet another pill to your local doctor They dont have to know anything about the pill at all....most of them dont-they're just hired to be dressed up like they're fashion runway models to give to the docs a couple of sample boxes in the office! 

LETS NOT FORGET how good ol docs handwriting will look for this new one to prescribe??  will look like a capital V with a couple of squiggly marks behind it!!!!

The last time we went to see my doc we talked about the stuff.Anyway his office called to tell me that I could get a scrip for it if I wanted.My wife wants me to try it but I want to wait to see what my doc says next time I see him and see what he thinks after it's been on the market for a few mts.I'm going to see what you good people think and then maybe will.I've been doing very good lately.Getting off generic meds helped me a lot.
