Briviact And Alcohol
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was able to tolerate alcohol on Keppra but have since been switched to Briviact due to side effects.
Has anyone had experience of drinking alcohol and taking Briviact? I have a big birthday coming up and I miss the occasional glass or 2!

When the seizures came, my doctor gave us a list of possible triggers or things and situations to avoid. Alcohol was on the list, near the top. Since that day, I been "cut off."
