Well, I'm increasing the Vimpat. Yesterday I did OK, although I was a little late taking my dose each time except my 5 pm dose. But today I am on time, and I am so doped I can't even stand. I tried to stand a little bit ago and literally and completely fell on my face (by some miracle, into a cushion, so my face is fine). Anyway, is it likely that this is from the Vimpat? I'm supposed to be increasing from 100mg 2x/day to 150mg 2x/day, so not a huge difference in mgs. I was only getting vague droopiness/sleepiness before. Could the slight increase really make such a monumental difference? My neuro told me it was okay to step back to 100mg 2x/day if I found the SE's too strong, and since I am out of town and also it's the weekend, I will do that for now. I am just surprised at how gigantic the change in SE's is. I have had these kinds of SE's with Trileptal before, so I'm not worried. My Tri dose is so low, and I have not increased it at all, so I suspect Vimpat and not Tri.
