I began to take lacosamide for a few months before UCB's brand name Vimpat was approved in europe at the start of 9/08 and here in U.S.A. at the end of 10/08. When I began this Lyrica was reduced while lacosamide was increased. Untill 12/09 I was taking both Vimpat & Lyrica, then it became Vimpat & Keppra XR. This is even better.
Twice daily I take 300mg of Vimpat & Once a day (at bedtime) I take 1500mg of Keppra XR.
