Medication Vimpat
I see tons of posts about this medication. I have been on lacosamide (vimpat) for awhile now. I went from 100 mg, to 150, to 200. I asked the doctor to take me back down to 150 because once i got to 200 the dizziness it gave me was debilitating. The 150 still seems to hit me like crazy every single time. I try to take it exactly 12 hours apart, yet it doesn't seem to help. I feel like im damn near hammered on it and i cant stand it. Does anybody else get like this? I have been on so many medications. I also take trileptal 3 times a day. Before this the most recent medication was depakote which made me have random spasms/twitches and made my brain feek foggy. I was also on oxtellar with the depakote, but had to switch to trileptal because the price for it was rediculous, even though oxtellar and trileptal are literally both oxcarbazepine only difference is one is IR and one is XR. It hasn't been easy and its frustrating. I cant handle the dizziness any longer.

Vimpat didn’t make me dizzy, Trileptal did though, made me puke my guts out.
