I have been taking it for 5 days twice a day starter pack for migraines and my side effects are nausea and headache/eye pain. Has anyone felt this way? When can ai expect side effects to go away?

Hello, Lori! How are you?

Yes, according to the FDA, those are known side effects to starting Vimpat, you may also experience dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision and heart burn.

Generally, it takes about a month for your body to get used to a medication and for the side effects to start tapering off in severity. If they don't or if they get worse, you should speak to your doctor as you may need to try a different medication.

Is there anything else I can help with?
