Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
He can take lamictal 25mg once daily instead of briviact 50 mg twice daily.
Both are anticonvulsant drugs ,used to prevent seizures possibly caused by the stroke he had before.
Hope I have answered the question.
