So far. so good on Vimpat for me. I have only had a few seizures, so maybe not the best person to relate to, for those who have suffered much more than I. But the side effects for me are mild. I actually feel more stable mood wise. No sleep issues or any muscle weakness, and I'm very active physically with spin and swim. I take 50 mg twice a day. I do feel more sensitive to being emotionally hooked into things, but I can handle that. So if you are new to this...here's a good review.
