Hi Tiger Lilly,

I wish you the best on the Vimpat I know that some of the side effects are as follows:

dizzyness, faint feeling, slow or irregular heartbeat, very moody, poor balance, headaches, and sometimes a violent temper. If heart disease runs in your family I wouldn't take the drug because it puts you at a higher risk for heart attacks that's why I refused the drug when my epi wanted to put me on it. It also can cause suicidal thoughts like many AED's do. You have to watch your liver and kidneys while on this drug also. I hope the drug works well for you. Wishing you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sue
