Vimpat - are memory issues transient?

Is your “psych” a psychologist or psychiatrist? In many states psychologists can’t prescribe meds. In those states only psychiatrists can. That’s the way it is in most states. Psychiatrists are hard to get into because there is such a need and not enough of them. I would get on any waiting list you can. They don’t get shorter. I live near Mayo in Minnesota so that helps. Also that I have epilepsy and was referred by my neurologist helps. I have one of the top epileptologist at Mayo so I really count my blessings.

Hi @hillsboro
I believe that @baa has mentioned a psychiatrist.

How fortunate to live near Mayo! I’m sure you have access to great physicians. My neurologist referred me to a psychiatrist and I do like him. Was surprised he wasn’t able to recommend a med right away. He said he didn’t know much about lacosimide but would research. Actually, we have quite a few psychiatrists in our “small” city. So, that’s where I’m at right now.
