Hello, I have been on vimpat for a little over a year. No complaints. I take 200 mg twice a day. I am wondering how long it takes to dissolve in our stomach and into the blood stream?

Regular release medications usually take about 15 to 20 minutes to start working, after you take them.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Vimpat as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, memory loss, and weight changes.

Is there anything else I can help with?
