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!

I'm on 1200MG daily of Carbatrol and 2000MG daily of Keppra XR. The Keppra hasn't been working so I've been given a prescription for Vimpat (lacosamide). Eventually over the next month or two I'll be weaned off of Keppra. Here goes nothing...
