What being okay means when it comes to your partial-onset seizure control
When you think just being okay is okay, then youre not willing to do anything else. You have to finally realize that you need more than just okay. - Veronica C., currently taking Vimpat for partial-onset seizures

The Epilepsy Foundation defines the goal of treatment as having no seizures, with little to no side effects. For about 2/3 of the 2.7 million people in the US living with epilepsy, the good news is that many of them have become completely seizure free with the use of medicine and/or surgery. However, for the remaining 1/3 of those people, the journey is a bit harder. These people continue to suffer from ongoing seizures. If you are one of these people, there is still hope to possibly reduce the number of seizures youre having and achieve your personal best level of control. Vimpat has been proven to significantly reduce the number of partial-onset seizures. In clinical studies, many patients who added Vimpat reduced their partial-onset seizures by 50% or more.
