Vimpat

1/7/2016 | | 52moderated by Charlotte
Lacosamide (50mg) for epilepsy

Suffered with vertigo and dizziness for 10 years. This gave me balance problems which led to my subconscious making me really tired. After five years I started getting mild epileptic attacks. Over the years the attacks happened more and more frequently up to 15 per day. In 2013 I started taking depakine which was a total disaster. More attacks, more tiredness. Then I had keppra. No effect, just more tiredness. Vimpat since June 2015. No more attacks, only had 2 start but they didn't develop. Still dizzy and vertigo, which makes me tired, but less so than before I started taking vimpat. Bad memory, poor concentration, sometimes trembling hands and I've gained a few kilos are further side effects. But I sleep better now.
