Jan 31, 2012	300 mg Daily	Moderate	Mild	Always	A little

Side effects:: Mood swings

Date: Jan 31, 2012
Advice & Tips: I have tried a long list of different seizure meds I feel for the most part the Vimpat seems to work the best for me. I would like to try to get off the other 2 seizure meds I take and just try the Vimpat alone. I have had a rough past couple of years seizure wise so I am very reluctant to try it tho.
Cost: $200+ monthly
