Vimpat
Tue, 05/12/2009 - 21:33Has 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!

I'm due to go on it in November and after reading some of the stories on here, I'm glad I'll be at home incase of any side effects.
Anything has to be better than the Keppra I'm currently on which makes me depressed, cry, become suddenly agressive (and I'm usually a shy person) and say horrbile things without thinking which is completly not me.
I know some of my side effects must be due to the stresses of not having a job, but that seemed to fuel the side effects.
