Vimpat is working for severe RLS and PLMD
Not sure where I will land on dosing or how long this will last but I’m sharing for anyone else who is considering
Vimpat
. This has given me a real reprieve in combination with iron infusion.

vimpat / lacosamide stopped fully working
the
Vimpat
stopped working to completely resolve my RLS. Recent MRIs showed multiple Tarlov cysts on my spine, which is possibly causing the left leg pain and movement. It is positional and separate from the RLS in both legs in my arms and body. I see a new neurosurgeon next week.

lab work 8 weeks post iron infusion - advice?
I’m currently still symptomatic but much improved on lacosamide /
Vimpat
150 twice a day. level was 7.7 right in the middle. I also take gabapentin 300 twice a day for other nerve damage from spinal fusion. And marijuana is my last resort for the middle of the night but it doesn’t last long.

And I’m now on a trial of
VIMPAT
/lacosamide 50 twice a day that I’m one week into with very slight improvement. The Sleep neurologist plans to increase the dose and, if it stops my legs from moving, start me on a trial of sonata for sleep.

I was on Epilim and Lamictal for my Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy, bad shaking hands, was it Parkinson's disease, found reaction to Epilim!
to take up drawing classes, artistic family, hands really steady I was 61 years old then, BUT really dangerous other side effects meant I had to get off Fycompa, causing smashed body breakages, violent seizures via combination of medications as I changed them, I have had one seizure since being on

Essential tremors for Epilim and Lamictal [2013-2016] now same thing for Vimpat and Briviact [2018- 2021 ......
So could it be just the same side effects of the Epilim/Lamictal and
Vimpat
/Briviact that is the trouble?
