Vimpat - are memory issues transient?

Posted by hillsboro @hillsboro, Aug 23 5:19pm

I have just started on Vimpat. I am slowly titrating up to 200 mg. I am also on 500 mg of lamictal for the last several years. The Vimpat is an add on. I have been on numerous anticonvulsants and this is the first time I have ever had memory issues. I know that Vimpat can help with memory but currently it is giving me short term memory problems. Has anyone had the experience of memory issues with Vimpat being transient as their body adjusts to the med?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Epilepsy & Seizures Support Group.

I just started lacosamide at 200mg as an adjunct to lamictal at 500 mg. I so hope this works.

Hi @baa
After Covid, at least over here, there are many doctors who are open to online appointments. Perhaps this way you could access psychiatrists outside your "small" city. Just a thought.
Have all a nice weekend!
