My wife is 56 years old. She takes Vimpat 50 mg (3 times daily) and Keppra 500 mg once a day to control her epilepsy. The auras/seizures are completely under control but she is experiencing severe memory problems. As an example she sometimes cannot remember something I had told her fifteen minutes before. Has anyone experienced this kind of severe short term memory loss from combining these two drugs? The strange thing is that she often seems unaware of how much she is forgetting. If anyone has had a similar experience from combining Vimpat and Keppra and has a suggestion for us or has switched to another drug that took care of the memory loss issue we would greatly appreciate the help.
