zonisamide for Seizures: I take Zonisamide with Tegretol and it works great in controlling my seizures. I do have loss of memory, stuttering, and itchy skin. All of these have occurred in the last year and I've been taking it for 2.5 years.

Zonegran (zonisamide) for Seizures: So far this is my choice of seizure medicines (complex partial and absence). Dilantin makes me sleepy, Tegretol and Topamax both gave me migraines. No seizures AND no headaches, yay! Zonegran does leave me a bit fatigued, and seems to lessen the appetite (but that's not really a bad thing).

Zonegran (zonisamide) for Seizures: I've been on this for over 6 months now and seizure free since then. I do have a very mild loss in appetite, but that has not stopped me from eating, only how much I eat. Side effects are the lowest overall from all the other medicines I've been on in the past (Topomax, Triliptal, Depakote & Phenobarbital). Best of all it's only once a day!

Zonegran (zonisamide) for Seizures: I love Zonegran. I have no seizures while on this medicine. The only time I experienced a partial seizure was recently when I began including yogurt in my daily diet. Since I excluded that I'm seizure free again.
