Hi Trinity68

As we're not medically trained we can't say what you're experiencing. But we do know that one of the common side effects of Vimpat (Lacosamide) is dizziness. bnf.nice.org.uk/drugs/lacos...

It may be helpful for you to contact your GP if these symptoms continue. 

If you wish to talk to our helpline team and you live in the UK please do phone our freephone helpline 0808 800 5050.

Our helpline is open Monday to Friday 8.30am until 5.00pm, and Saturday 10.00am until 4.00pm.

Regards

Julie

Helpline Team
