Paradise Survivor, I have been on Vimpat for 11 months now. I take 100mg 3x's a day very 8 hours. I did have the problem of sleeping at night and my neuro put me on a mild sleeping pill which works great. I have had a weight gain and have talked to both my GP and Neuro but we are not doing anything yet because I am having very bad gastro issues at this time and they want me to get them taken care of first. Who knows it could be whats causing the weight gain.
I do have another issue that has started the past few weeks and I dont know if its the meds causing it or what. When I type its either my fingures are going faster then my brian or the other way around, it comes out all screwed up with letters in the wrong places or letters added. And sometimes when I am talking a world will come out of my mouth that no one understands and it takes me a second to realize what I said and its like, "What"? When my husband is around he is having to translate for me . Just like now I have had to go back and correct half of this paragraph. it doesnt make a diffrence if i type slower or faster it still happens. Its fustrating at times but then I laugh at others because some of the word are to funny. Believe me I spell check then reread everything at work at least 5 times.
