I don't know if they were from taking briviact in general but I had very vivid and real dreams and some strange dreams were I was half awake and half asleep so I could hear myself talking to myself or carrying on a conversation with the person in my dream and I could immediately wake up and remember some of the dream but it was like 6 months after I was on Briviact. I actually woke up and caught myself talking on the phone as it was happening in my dream. Thankfully it wasen't on and I didn't actually call anyone at 3 in the morning. I wrote about it in my notes for when I went to my next appointment with my neroligest so I could ask him about it and never figured out why. I did find talking to myself before going to bed about what was going on, kinda like a little meditation technique and I also keep a journal about things like that just a place for me to write down stuff just for me to get thoughts and feelings out

No , but when I was taking Potiga , it increased the amount of dreams every night. I would have dreams of all types.
Dreams the day before
Weird dreams
Dramatic dreams
Nightmares
Almost real dreams
Fantasy / Sci - Fi dreams
And dreams that just didn’t make sense.

I would have 4 or more of these dreams a night.

No. Thats Because I dont Remember any of my Doctors Prescribing Me that Name of Medication. I have like 9 Different Types of Seizures and i have Experimented with Different Medications Prescribed for Seizures/Epilepsy. I am Currently taking Tegretol ER 400 MG Tablets 2 times a Day. I TAKE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE,, NO PRESCRIBED MEDS OR ANYTHING. NO LIE ,,,,,, I ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS MEDICATION AND IVE TAKEN IT FOR MY HEALTH ISSUE WITH SEIZURES,, EPILEPSY,, FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS NOW. OF COURSE MOST MEDS HAVE SIDE EFFECTS BUT IM 100% SATISFIED WITH TEGRETOL. Generic name is:: CARBAMAZEPINE. ITS EVERYTHING BETTER THAN HAVING TO TAKE TOO MANY MEDS TOO MANY TIMES A DAY. FOR WHAT 2 PILLS A DAY DO FOR YOUR DISABILITY AND EFFECTS ON YOUR BRAIN & BODY. Ive had these Seizures for the last 22 1/2 Years. And i am being Honest yall saying & meaning i love this certain medication The way it treats my brain and body and my Disability. Actually i refuse accepting any other medications. This Tegretol is THE ONE AND ONLY. Im guilty of having abnormal Brain Functions. Ive been Severely Epileptic since i was 19 years old. Im age 42 now and have been prescribed several different medicine for Seizures and i totally REBEL AND BUCK .... I only take TEGRETOL NOW. THATS ALL I ACCEPT. NO WONDER THEY CALL IT THE MIRACLE DRUG. πŸ˜‡πŸ™.
