Briviact Effects ?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi
On 7/6/17 my doctor started me on 50 mg. Briviact 2 times per day. I take 1 about 6:30 AM and the other about 5:00 PM. When I was on the 50mg dose I had no side effects. After 5 days he wanted to up my dose to 100mg. 2 times per day. I started 100mg. 2 times per day, 1 at 6:30 AM and other at 5:00 PM
I noticed since I've increase my meds to 100mg. Is when the "Side Effects" started. It seems like now I'm always very tired. Also I noticed sometimes when I walk I don't feel steady… read more

I'm sorry, the drug I was comparing to was "FYCOMPA" which is the one that I had many side effects with, (I've never been on "Felbatol".)

I am on Briviact 50 2x day along with Lamictal. He wanted to increase but I am very tired, stuttering and also somewhat uncoordinated. I will say it is better than my trial of Fycompa. I was so unbalanced I was falling all the time and also became psychotic and hallucinating. I am going next week for VNS discussion. I have been on almost all the meds.

My doctor has just put me on Briviact - 100mg daily - along with Fycompa and Onfi. Sometimes I feel so tired that it is hard to put one foot in front of the other. I am also having mood swings with both the Fycompa and Briviact. I was on Keppra for a long time but the doctor took me off of it. It seems like a guessing game some times.
