Glad Keppra’s working for you! When it was clear Lacosamide was not working for me, I asked to be put back on Keppra. My neuro hesitated because it made me “moody” and suggested Briviact. It does concern me a bit that Briviact is only made in Switzerland, and there is no generic. Keppra is much more widely available and generic. Thank you for the info link!

Thank you for your message.
I understand your concerns about Briviact only being manufactured in Switzerland. But if I were you, I'd seriously consider staying with it, if possible. It's keeping you seizure-free, and the side effects have become manageable. That's a really valuable combination to have found!
Given the Keppra rage you experienced – a common side effect for many – I probably wouldn't risk trying it again if I were in your shoes.
Chris
