Anyone experiences with Vimpat (lacosamide) yet?Quote :
Recently a neurologist suggested it for a 3-year old kid with Lennox Gastaut Syndrome stating Vimpat is promising for Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (many drugs for 16+ are prescribed in polytherapy for this syndrome.) But I can't find resources mentioning it's specificly prescribed or effective for Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome.

| It made my partial complex worse. It helped my tonic clonic. But it made me more tired. I feel like a kid trying to get my life together again.

| I tried Vimpat in March of 2011 and it wasnt the best for me. Made me feel depressed and I just wasnt myself. I think if I recall right, I got up to 100mgs, and tried going back down to 50mgs a day, but it didnt improve things, so they took me off of it.

| I started Vimpat in the Spring of 2011 for two months. It did bad things to the way I acted around people and caused some depression. I had more complex partial seizures than I did before but my tonic clonic seizures were better, I attributed both effects to the Vimpat. My doctor told me that if I continued it and let my body adjust to the change better things might happen but I didn't want to take the chance. I don't remember how much I was taking. Good luck with it. |
