I Am A Anaplastic Astrocytoma 3 Survivor Who Has Been

I am a anaplastic Astrocytoma 3 survivor who has been on Vimpat for simple partial seizure control for years. I have been in remission from my cancer for over a year. I still have an occasional seizure which just makes me anxious for about a minute and then passes. I am on 100 mg of Vimpat twice a day and I believe that it has been causing the really bad fatigue that I have been having. My Nero Oncologist knows all about my fatigue. I have never had any seizure activity worse than I mentioned. I believe that slowly eliminating the Vimat could really help. I have, in the past reduced my dosage to 50 mg twice a day and I would have those same seizures a little more often but no different. I believe that the seizure type that I have is much easier to deal with than the dabilitating fatigue.
