I hope I'm doing this correctly.
My med (Vimpat) is now giving me anxiety attacks. I thought I was having seizures but apparently not. The EEG was good. My dr seems to not care about the side effects, which also include heart beats so fast it feels like a heart attack. I need opinions please! Do I need another doctor? I attended the funeral of a good friend on Weds and had to leave half way through. Just couldn't handle the anxiety. This is not like me, I used to be a pretty tough girl! I can only assume it's the anxiety. Would love to hear some of your opinions, am very frustrated. He also gave me klonopin for the anxiety. Maybe all meds give a person these side effects, I'm still too new to this to know. Thanks much! I wish everyone a happy valentine's day and NO SEIZURES!!
