Levera to Briv

For past 5 years,  I was on Levera 500 mg twice a day. But due to side effects like low concentration, emotional numbness, low mood, lack of motivation etc, my neurologist has switch medicine to Brivaracetam 50 mg in the day and 100 mg in the night. I have been on Briv since a week now. How long does it take to experience benefits of switching from keppra to Briviact?
