Hello! I am brand ne to this site! My son who turns 5 next weeks was diagnosed with absence seizures with partial onset back in Oct '13. We did get them under control 3 medications later.... Does anyone's elses child take Vimpat? He's getting ready for school and I feel he is so far behind. Vimpat makes him crazy tired too. And does anyone collect SSI for their children? Sorry this is all over the place, not sure where to start! Any input is greatly appreciated!
