Kimberly, I'm so sorry for your loss. I was just reading about vimpat on drugdigest.com and one of the side effects is "suicidal thoughts or change in mood".

I started taking vimpat five months ago. I have had 7 seizures. It's not perfect but better. However I hope the bit of double vision I just had is due to Evista, which I started taking for bones. I am quiting Evista. With Vimpat 100mg in the morn & 100mg at night was a bit too much & made me dizzy. So I started cutting my pills in half taking 50mg at morn, 50mg in afternoon then 100mg at night. Since that worked, my Dr liked it & gave me 50mg pills so I don't have to split them.

roybean88, Weight loss is not one of the side effects. I wish it was.
