Vimpat

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!

Are you on it with anything else? They have me on it with Lyrica 150mg, vimpat 400mg, and Lamictal bcuz I couldn't keep tc's under control. I love the fact I have no side effects from Vimpat. My neuro told me it works great with other meds, but so far I love it.
