@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , I’ve been on Vimpat since November 2019 & haven’t had any issues with weight problems. It was several years ago when on Topamax, that the Topamax made me loose to much weight & so I got off it. I’m also on Depakote & have been on that probably for a little more than 10 years. You might let your doctor know what’s going on if you feel concerned that you’re gaining to much weight. Good luck & Welcome to the site. Your friend in Texas, Becky
