Hi there Darenda,I hope all is well with you and the Briviact.  I have been on Briviact since January when they prescribed it to me after my VEEG.  I have preetty much been seizure free since then, but they started me off at max dose of 200mg. daily.  My other two meds I am maxed out on as well, so it's hard to say what is going on.  I am also being scheduled for a total of three surgeries this year.  One SEEG implanting and then the removal and finally another resection for me.Later,Racer
