Comment:
This medicine was the worst thing that my son has been given so far for partial focal seizure. I made him groggy so be couldn't function at all. It made him nauseous and he would vomit the medication. Ir also made him loose bowel control that we had work for years to gain.

Comment:
Memory and coordination have been getting worse. My mood has changed and now I have become very short tempered. Vimpat in combination with Levetiracetam has made me loose muscle coordination not all the time but it does happen and get really dizzy. Add to this that the other medication does have a history at times of giving you a lazy eye.
