seizures
"Have been on Vimpat for about 4 months now and am now starting to understand the side effects thanks primarily to these reviews. Previously on Dilantin for >10 years for complex-partial seizures. The positive of using this mediicne is I have a marked improvement in my gums.  The Negative side effects are as follows:
Poor memory/word recall/digging
Short term memory impairment/can't remember what just doing and wanted to do next.
Loss of the ability to focus and concentrate/easily distracted. Might not be entirely Vimpat related.
Depression/emptiness/out-of-options feeling
Burning feet/ MD. suggested it could be Vimpat related.
Some loss of taste, Impaired ejaculation.
Hope this helps. Might consider going back to Dilantin. Good first time medicine."
