Holyoke, MA

I’m having a bout with kidney stones. It’s a side affect of topomax and zonimiside. I’ve 1 but I found iut there are a bunch just hanging there waiting to drop. Not looking forward to that. Anyone on these meds have the same issues

I have been on Zominiside and Zonegran ( brand name ) but not the other. Zonegran made me have Kidney Stones. Then my Dr. Had me change to the generic brand ( Zonimiside ) . I never had Kidney Stones with the generic brand.
