Has Anyone Ever Had Joint Pain From Taking VIMPAT?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Farmersburg, IN

I started taking Vimpat about 2 years ago. About two months later I started having joint pain. The joint pain has only gotten worse and spread. I don't know for sure if the pain is caused by the Vimpat or not, but has anyone else ever developed joint pain from taking Vimpat? I have no history of joint injuries or joint diseases in my family. I also take Oxtellar(trileptal)

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member

I was just wondering if anyone knows if vimpat can cause weight loss? The weight is just falling off me. I've lost another 2 and a half pounds in a week. I'm not sure if something else is causing it but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this with vimpat?
