Good morning Advice appreciated please
My son 20yrs old suffers focal seizures and tonic clonic sometimes partial absence too.
He has learning difficulties, complex needs an non verbal autism.
9 months had a VNS fitted, sadly has not helped.
He takes Carbamazepine 3 times daily and Brivaracetam twice daily. Still has 2 - 3 seizures a month.
Cons has started reducing the Briv by 1ml each day every week now he's on 6ml twice daily but last 7 days big uptick in seizures especially partials.
I want the Briv increased back up as this is terrible for him, leads to irritability and tiredness.
They want to try another med but I think would be best to get him settled first.
Any thoughts? Experience or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
SW
