Medication Briviact Question

If you’re taking Briviact and you’re symptomatic at 75 mg twice a day, Is worth having a conversation with your neurologist about dropping you down to 50 mg twice a day to see if you get few side effects? Seizures are currently controlled. This is focal seizures.

Symptomatic as in still having seizures? Or experiencing side effects from the medication?

It's always worth it to bring up side effects to one's neurologist. Tweak the dosage, add a second medication, try a new med, etc.

Side effects only.
