I am on
Vimpat

Depokote
He is on
vimpat
, Briviact, onfi and they just added Depokote with the thoughts of removing one of the others. He has been seizure free for a little over a month. The bloodwork came back okay and said to stay on all 4 meds.

Levothyroxine, Vimpat and Briviact together?
Hi, Does anyone know if I could take Levo,
Vimpat
and Briviact together in the mornings? Only just began the
Vimpat
today and told by my new Neurologist that it's best to take Levo in the morning... Thank you for your help. Best wishes, Tina

"You're a one off!"; Schwannamatosis; Briviact, long term memory gain; Lamictal/Lamotrigine, 'electric shock' episodes; alergic to morphine
examples were that I slashed my right hand, the female doctor 'patched' up my hand, I tried to 'chat her up', I regularly dislocate my right shoulder, a side effect of a epilepsy seizure, I reset it again despite the grimaces of people nearby; I have been taking 50 mg Briviact for my epilepsy [with 400 mg

Fycompa
He is also on Onfi and
Vimpat
. After reading the reviews I am considering just saying no to this med. I just would love to hear more about experiences people have had or are having. Any information is greatly appreciated.

The World Outside
I have found that different drugs make things worse, Topiramate I found made me angry, so I am now on
Vimpat
which appears to have calmed me down, Lamotrigine I have been taking for that long I don't know what it's side effects are.

Lamictal and electric shock nighttime 'seizures'
I am now completely off the Lamictal, now on
Vimpat
and Briviact, and Lisinopril. Those electric shock nighttime attacks have NEVER been diagnosed to me in any form or fashion, but I am 100% certain it has something to do with the Lamictal?

Problems getting Vimpat filled in different states, now controlled?
Who else is having problems getting their AED
Vimpat
? I’m going to be day 1 without tomorrow because? Insurance doesn’t cover me out of town then
Vimpat
was made a controlled drug and Id have to go to an ER to try and get a “written script in CA, my Mo written script where I live is worthless?

I’m sick of being a test subject to Epilepsy and neuropathy.
I’m sick of Drs and pharmacy’s telling me my
Vimpat

He’s on a new med called
Vimpat
in combination with the Keppra. Every 20-30 days he has a grand mal seizure so hopefully the
Vimpat
is going to help.

Pancreatis? Side effects of recent medication?
Never had any trouble with pancreas, but on new medication,
vimpat
[400 mg] since last October, with briviact [50 mg] since last April, could this be something to do with it? Seemingly surgery next month is now in the pipeline!
