I believe keppra & Briviact are basically equal as far as seizure effectiveness.
Briviact is more user friendly, so to speak. Fewer side effects especially Keppra rage.
But it sounds as though your physician believes Briviact may be more effective.
Take care,
Jake

Hi Jake,

Yup. My neurologist named it Keppra 2.0. It's one with less side effect, I am currently into my 4th night on it (50mg every night) and it seems pretty decent with no more daily seizure! The side effects I felt in the day may be due to the other AEMs I am also currently on. Keeping my fingers crossed for the time being. I will update after 1 week on it, before my dose is to increase to 50mg both day and night (100mg daily).

Cheers,
Louis
