Vimpat for Tardive Dyskinesia/Tardive Dystonia

[ILADVOCATE]

From some information I gained online the recently approved anti-seizure medication Vimpat (Lacosomide) has been used experimentally for tardive dyskinesia. I well understand this usage is experimental and may be very new. But I've been through all known treatments (and could not tolerate them or respond to them) and as this is an FDA approved medication so at least in that regard its a known quantity. My neurologist is always the one who makes the ultimate decision but he finds any information I bring him here to be of help in doing his own research. If there's any information on its use in this regard it would be well appreciated. It appeared to be used for dystonic reactions as well and I experience those from tardive dystonia and they have been extremely hard to treat and can be dangerous at time. Thanks.

It was just released this week after having been FDA approved for epilepsy. My neurologist who is a movement disorders specialist did some research and its highly experimental for tardive dyskinesia but because I was having potentially life threatening dystonic reactions and dysphagic choking spasms he allowed to start it and it is markedly helpful on both. I'll see how it works out over time and update him but it does appear to be helpful in this regard.
