Just Started Zonisamide.
I just started taking zonisamide yesterday. It is in addition to phenobarbital and lamotrigine. If you have had experience with zonisamide, please let me know, especially if it is a secondary or tertiary medication. I am also interested in side effects.
Zonisamide
Have anyone taken this medicine or is on it.
What are side effects and how did you cope with it. Does the med work. Any information.
I'm on epilm at the moment but Zonisamide is slowly being added at the same time I'm slowly coming off eplim, so I'm having change over of med and wondered how it will effect me.
It have been making me very tired.
How is what I'm taking at the moment.
Morning... 600mg epilm & 50mg Zonisamide
Afternoon... 300mg epilm
Evening... 600mg epilm & 50mg Zonisamide
I like being on Zonisamide!

Are You Ok With The Meds You Take, Or Dose That Go With The Meds You Are Currently On?
Controlled Until 2014 When Toxic Encephilopathy Resulted In Grand Map Seizure And Double Vision.
Tried many anti seizure meds and they only differ in intensity and duration, frequency fairly constant-when trying to nap in afternoon or starting with drowsiness 8-9 pm. Frequently awake with recurring seizures (my doc calls them episodes since I don't lose consciousness. A few puffs of medical marijuana allows me to return to sleep without fear of more seizures. Now trying Aptiom (sp?) after Dilantin, oxcarbazapene, carbazapene, kepra, lamictol, etc., etc.
I wonder if he would put me on Dilantin if it would also help my weight issue
Does Anyone Else Take Zonisamide (zonegran) ?
I know nothing of it and neither does my mom. Shes never heard of it. It was created or found after she stopped taking meds. The doctors only told me the usual side effects that come with medicine, dizzy, nausea, drowsiness. Anything i need to worry about?
I take Zonisamide. Keeps My weight down too! As far as memory loss, it could be from the Vimpat I take.
Zonesimide And Anxiety
I agree with you and your post and the epilepsy team post, I think it's dif per person, but hang in there and try and stay pos
