Leviracetam withdrawl side effects.

My doctor had suggested Keppra but after reading problems getting off of it I am concerned. I just discontinued clonazepam after a three and a half month tapering off. I tried Keppra (the generic form) with lamotrigine and it caused GERD. I'm on a smaller dose of lamotrigine and maybe that would help.
I have been looking into other drugs. The physician's assistant mentioned brivacetam but after looking it over that sounded scary. I also checked xcopri and vimpat but don't remember if one or both of them were controlled substances which I don't want to try again as I don't want to get involved with a drug that can be addictive.
I have been on lamotrigine for many years but it has never eliminated them. I stayed on it because I could tolerate it. My dosage has been decreased. I've been trying to find something to replace it but don't know what to try.

@heel33
Have you considered any of the older meds or have you already been that route.
Didn't you take Dilantin at one time?

@heal33
Since Brivaracetam is similar to Keppra why don't you want to try it?
I assume your seizures aren't controlled.
