It did me but I went on it at the age of 11 so I was going through all the usual teenage stuff anyway

Regret I was allergic to this several years' ago. I am looking for an alternative now to Vimpat but won't try this again due to constant allergies.

I started taking eplim when I was 11 years of age and I do remember being tired a lot after taking eplim and I also remember being moody but I think that is just a teenager thing and the moody side soon passed

I've been taking this medication for many years and at the start I did get the usual side effects but they soon settled down, that includes being sleepy and tired, moody they soon settle down once the tablets or medication settles in your child's body and your child gets used to taking medication every day
