@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, side effects from Vimpat will not wear off. As long as you are taking the medication, you will always have one of the side effects uncontrollable shaking of the body. Also, did you know that Vimpat is a controlled substance? Meaning the drug is controlled by the government. Have tried to get a refill on the drug? It's a hassle.
