Raspberry Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I just wondered if anyone is on Brivarcetam for epilepsy and what their feelings about it are? I have a new neuro and he wants to try me on Cabamazepine but I was looking up meds and this one kinda caught my eye. I want a drug with no weight gain, sexual side effects or problems with my moods but I know I'm probably asking way to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notloki Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Have you tried Keppra ? It is in the same family as Brivaracetam, all the drugs ending in -racetam are in this family and have similar characteristics, such as being an anticonvulsive.

Hi They wouldn't try me on Keppra due to my mental health history. I was hoping they would let me try brivaracetam as it isn't supposed to have as many side effects. It doesn't look to of been prescribed for long over here and I can't see that many reviews on it. They've given me gabapentine which I don't want to take. I just want a drug that doesn't make me gain weight or destroys my sex life. Oh and it should also control the seizures as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
