I love the 70's and 80's. Music was much better in those days. Thank you for reminding me

Drugs you've been prescribed unfortunately are a bit of a mystery. The particular "cocktail" we take is tough to understand and have some control over. WHAT EVER WORKS seems to be the rule. I think we all feel some lack of confidence around this issue.
Yes Pavlov's dogs drooled. We're entitled to drool even more if we want!! 🤔 😛
Take care Mary.

I was on Phenytoin & Lamotrigine both at therapeutic levels, fot many years. Like you I was controlled & but once I stopped taking the Phenytoin & slightly increased my Lamotrigine, I felt so much clearer than I had felt in my life. The difference was as if I had been over medicated for the last 40-50 yrs. I guess it had become the norm. But since then Cognition & response time have improved dramatically. Don't be afraid of taking fewer meds.

Anything from the '80s is my go to music. Heavy on AC/DC.

I am now off the zonisamide completely, but I am still have the side effects. Another doctor and I decided to switch my antidepressant. I have not been on this medication long enough to know if it will stop the previous side effects. My tremor is less and I only seem to drool while eating - feeling like one of Pavlov's dogs. Thank you all so much for the support, understanding, and your willingness to share your experiences.
