After that briviact I had to take Vimpat which had some horrible effects and now I am taking Fycompa which has worked well with Trileptal and Lamictal

I was prescribed Briviact about the end of September last year. Since then, i don't have auras anymore which used to be great. Then i would have a 2 minute warning that a seizure is going to occur. Now with taking Briviact, there are no auras, so if a seizure is coming on it will happen right away. Seizures are less now. I think i am having them due to either stress, anxiety or that extra slice of cake. In February, i was given Trileptal to help as an addition. It took some time to get used to the combination of side effects and it seems to be doing ok. I just need to figure out what is causing the seizures. I can't blame it on stress thanks to the quarantine. I can't blame it on caffeine such as chocolate, i haven't had it since 1992. Its got to be the cake!
