Blurred Vision

I started taking a higher dose of Vimpat 300 mg twice a day this weekend. I did not seem to have any problems on Sunday, but this morning I have had a few instances where I was dizzy or had blurred vision. I am not sure if it is from the medicine, but those are some of the reported side effects. I will keep monitoring to see what happens. My Depakote is down to 250 mg twice a day. We shall see what happens.

Vimpat 200 Mg

Today is my first day taking 200 Mg of Vimpat twice a day. I am being especially wary of any of the possible know side effects, such as blurred vision or dizzyness. It has been two hours since my first dose. No sign of issues yet.

Petite Mal Seizure

I started getting hot while eating lunch today and had a short petite mal seizure. I quickly activated my VNS, drank some cold soda, and took off my coat. I am feeling better now. I had not taken my lunch meds yet, so I took those too.
