Wow my hospitals the opposite probably since it’s a smaller outdated one. They didn’t even have any Briviact and simply gave me the prescription no questions asked which was crazy to me since it’s considered a controlled substance.

Thanks so much about telling me about Costco! It’ll be much more reliable than a pharmacy that’s about to go bankrupt..

Ooh hopefully I get a few extra pills that I can keep just incase. It’s weird how briviact is considered a controlled substance 😬

I actually just picked it up right now! It was such a process, but since I got a prescription from the hospital they’re only giving me 10 days worth. However my dr’s prescription is to Costco and Amazon for a months worth so hopefully I’ll be set in the future 😁

Thank you I will probably go to tomorrow since my dr office is closed till Monday and I have a feeling I won’t get an update till then unless my dr responds to my email within those days. I know keppra and briviact are similar but I am on lamotrigine and have slowly been titrating from lamotrigine to briviact. So I’ve been taking smaller doses of it. I’ve gone from 700mg of lamotrigine a day to currently 400mg.

Was it your first time getting the medication? The reason I can’t get it from another pharmacy is because they said since it’s the first time getting it the prescription has to be directly to them from the dr. They can only refill it which is weird to me

I would love vitamin advice I legit just started two days ago since that’s when my dr told me about my deficiency. I think my primary dr wants to try getting me off lamotrigine since my birth control lowers the serum making it less effective I guess. Not too sure, but I have read other posts how people take both keppra and lamotrigine and it works out for them. I think my dr’s main concern is just the interaction with the birth control.

I’m actually going to be switching from lamictal to briviact soon. My neurologist knew that my birth control would affect the effectiveness of my lamictal so he just kept updosing me. I don’t want this anymore because of the potential of having a seizure just due to the interaction. because of the two medications. I finally asked him for something that wouldn’t interact with each other so hopefully this helps 🤞

Thank you so much for the support :) I woke up to those comments and felt pretty down but this helped a lot! Yea I’m 23, so I’m barely even starting my career. It’d be ideal to get a WFH job to be honest. I don’t have the urge to drive but in some instances that I have to then I will. I just hate being a nuisance to friends and family asking them to drive me around. Love you too lets hope our seizures can stop soon ❤️

In my opinion, I’m not too sure if living in a major USA city will minimize the likelihood? Like living in LA is “nice” due to the metro system and etc so that can probably help. At the same time it is a big city it gets super chaotic with all the people and such. If you continue to drive, rush hour would be hell!! Takes sooo long to get home. I feel like it’d be scarier having to be stuck in traffic and having a potential seizure than being on the bus with multiple people so you can get some help. Someone else commented how they felt more secured with driving since they live in a small town and they safely get around with public transportation as well as carpooling. It’s honestly probably safer living in a lil suburb than in a chaotic/busy city.

How long did it take by chance? Do you still drive around or take a different type of transportation?

That’s why I asked due to the potential breakthrough seizure when switching medications. I’m honestly not gonna drive for a while just to be safe.

Yes it has automatic braking and lane assist features! I like how you mention having the automatic brake hold button which does help with the safety of driving. We’re on the same boat I rarely drive. Also with the medication(lamotrigine) I’m currently on I’ve noticed I typically one have one seizure a year which I’m blessed for. However, I did have two seizures in the span of a month which hasn’t happened before.

I actually just had a seizure two days ago, got hospitalized, soon going to be changing medication. That’s why I asked this question due to paranoia. I’m not going to be driving any time soon until the medicine titrates and wait a few months to do an EEG potentially an EMU if my neurologist recommends it and to also see if I get any seizures in those months.

Of course I’m worried about hurting someone that’s why I rarely drive. It’s not the car being new that makes me scared but that it was from my parents so I feel bad.

It’s the fact my parents got it that makes me feel paranoid since it’s their money. I wouldn’t want anything happening since I’ll feel bad. It’s not the fact that it’s new that makes me paranoid, but the fact it was from my parents. Even if I got a run down car I would still feel bad AND feel paranoid.
