I was recently prescribed Briviact 75mg Tablets to help manage my seizures. I've heard mixed things about the side effects, especially the more serious ones. I'm curious to hear from others who have been on this medication. How have you found it? Have you experienced any of the urgent side effects mentioned, like hallucinations or suicidal thoughts? Or has it been mostly manageable with just some dizziness or fatigue? Any tips on dealing with the side effects would be greatly appreciated. Also, has anyone had experience with reporting side effects to the FDA? What was the process like?

Exactly, that's the most frustrating thing. It works so well, but the side effects are a bit too much to handle.

I started taking Briviact last year and it's helped a lot with my seizures. I did experience some changes in mood and behavior, but nothing severe. I've been keeping a close eye on it and communicating regularly with my doctor. It's important to report any side effects, even if they seem minor. It's better to be safe.

I had a panic attack right after I started on this medication. My doctor switched me to a different medication right away. But I can say Briviact was very effective when it came to reducing seizures.

I've been on Briviact for a few years now and it's been managing my seizures well. The dizziness and fatigue are manageable, but I've had to make some lifestyle adjustments. I've also found that keeping a food journal and regular exercise helps with some of the nausea.

Briviact has been a game-changer for me. I've had some hallucinations at the beginning, but my doctor adjusted the dose and it got better. Definitely worth discussing with your doctor if you experience any of these side effects.

Reporting side effects to the FDA was straightforward. I just filled out the form online and submitted it. They even followed up with me a few weeks later to see how I was doing. It was a good experience overall.
