My daughter, who has bilateral temporal lobe partial seizures, has been very resistant to all meds, with some working a short time only to cease effectiveness after a few weeks or months. The Vimpat, which was prescribed about five months into her treatment, caused her to be so sleepy, indeed almost unresponsive that we had to take her off it. This problem persisted at even the lowest dosages.

Over the last 10 years, I have been a guina-pig treating many different meds. Trying them in different doses and different combos. Finally my doc presc Vimpat along with 2 other anti-seizures meds. Finally, instead of having seiz twice a day, I'm down to every month or 2. I can live somewhat like a real person.
