I take Briviact and it works for me. But everyone's tolerance level is different and depends on what other medications you are taking. On that note, here is a link about the drug, https://www.drugs.com/briviact.html

My daughter just got put on this today. She is already taking aptiom at 1200 mg and they added this as a second medicine. There arent many anti seizure medicines she can take because she has IGA kidney disease. Hoping it helps! Ill let you know how she does in the next couple of weeks. She is going to have to have the VNS implant just got that news today as well.
