seizures
"I had surgery in Jan 2013 to remove the right temporal lobe.  My epilepsy changed altogether, I was just having daily partials but conscious when they happened.  However after surgery things were really bad in terms of the quantity of seizures I was having.  They were every 15 minutes!! Anyway I've now been on Vimpat for about 6 weeks and have noticed a huge improvement.  I have gone from 40 partials to around 2-3 per day and so far no complex partials! However when I increased my last dose to 100mg twice a day, my heart was racing at 128 so had to reduce back to 50mg twice daily.  I have noticed I am constantly itching and my memory is really bad.  I'm not sure if this is because of the surgery or the Vimpat.  I go back to work soon so really concerned."
