Vimpat And Leukemia

Updated

I was taking Vimpat in 2012 and 2013. I was recently diagnosed with Leukemia (CML). Has anyone been diagnosed with Leukemia while taking Vimpat?

Thanks,
A M

Hello, AM! How are you?

I didn't find any reports of such and I checked both research literature and anecdotal reports.

I am very sorry that you have been diagnosed with Leukemia, but you may not ever actually find a reason.

What is your prognosis?

Verwon,

Thanks for the response. I have CML and I'm working on getting this into remission. I did notice that many of the seizure drugs have side effects that negatively effect your blood counts and give certain blood disorders. Vimpat has many of these side effects on record but leukemia has not been proven yet. I'm not the type of person that believes in coincidences. Time will tell.

Thanks again,
