Increase in medication

[car67]

Hi all

I have not been well recently and have just come out of hospital with an increase in my seizure activity, after several medication changes due to my refractory epilepsy my neurologist has increased my brivact from 200mg a day to 300mg. The cut off is 200mg a day, is anyone on 300 a day and has there been an increase on side effects?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
