Just started taking Briviact 25mg Tablets for my epilepsy. Wondering about side effects? (Experiences welcome!)

I'm so glad I found this thread. I just started Briviact and was really nervous about the side effects. I've had some drowsiness, but it's manageable. I'll keep an eye out for anything serious.

Briviact 25mg tablets are a Godsend. I've been on them for a year, and they've significantly reduced my seizures. But remember, everyone's experience is different. I had some trouble with drowsiness at first, but it went away after a few weeks. Make sure to talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.

I had a weird experience with Briviact. I started having trouble balancing and felt clumsy, like I was drunk all the time. It was scary at first, but I reported it to my neurologist and we switched to a different dose and it went away. I'm also on a few other medications, so it could have been an interaction. Just make sure you report every symptom in detail.

I was skeptical at first, but Briviact has been a lifesaver. The dizziness and fatigue were mild and went away after a week or so. I had to deal with nausea and vomiting for a while but it went away after a few weeks. It was worth it though because my seizures went from daily to monthly. I still take a probiotic to help with my gut though.

I'm on Briviact too, and I've been lucky to only experience some mild dizziness. I've heard horror stories about the suicidal thoughts and hallucinations, and it’s scary. I think it's important to have regular check-ins with your doctor to make sure you're okay.

Briviact is definitely not for everyone. I had to stop taking it because the dizziness was too much to handle. It was like walking on a boat all the time. But I've got another medication that works for me now so it's all good.

Briviact saved my life. Literally. I was having 20-30 seizures a day and I was at rock bottom. Now I'm seizure free. And it's a miracle.

Nervous to try this. I've always been scared of the hallucinations. I'm in a high stress job and I can't afford to have any funny business with my brain. Guess I'll give it a shot unless the side effects are too rough?

I've had some serious side effects from Briviact. I ended up in the ER with a rash and trouble breathing. I had an allergic reaction. I'm not trying to scare anyone but if you have any symptoms like that - get help immediately. I've had my dose adjusted and am now on a lower dosage and it seems to be helping.
