Vimpat & Weight Gain
Hey Folks.
Anybody on Vimpat and gaining weight? I sure am and man, it just sucks. I started Vimpat in 2015, 200mg AM, 200mg PM, and I was 140 Lbs and now I am 180 Lbs. Yikes, at least my dog doesn't care that I blew up, but I hate it and I am trying like crazy to lose it, but not having much luck. I have remained seizure free which is a great thing, but that weight gain just sucks! Thanks, and all of you just rock!!
Bless ur heart
When I was taking the vimpat I used to run into walls and fall at least twice a day. The worst part was when it was witnessed by others. Yes, I have gained weight too and I don't like that either. Running into walls and falling without anyway to stop it. I told my neurologist and he stopped me from taking Vimpat which pretty much stop running into walls. He started me on Fycompa and that has helped.
I don't take that but I itch like crazy
I've tried vimpat around eight months ago. I was on it for only one month then taken off since it caused me to vomit.
I'm taking lamotrigine and oxcarbazapine now.
