Brivaracetam is closely related to levetiracetam, and the medicine reaches effective levels quickly, but seizure control and improvement in side effects may take a few weeks. The switch and dose should be guided by your neurologist; do not stop or alter either medicine yourself.
Next Steps
Continue the prescribed Brivaracetam at the same times and track seizures, sleep and mood symptoms over the next few weeks. Seek urgent care for a prolonged seizure, repeated seizures without recovery, or severe mood changes. For a medication review, book a Practo consult or visit Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj.
