Zonegran (zonisamide): 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): 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.

Zonegran (zonisamide): 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): The medication wasn't helpful in controlling my seizures. It's been about five months and I have had painful migraines just about every day! One day we'll find one that works!

Zonegran (zonisamide): I have recently been on Topamax and Keppra..both maxed out. My headaches were worst and my seizures were still happening. My doctor finally switched me to Zonagran 3 months ago. I am seizure free, headaches have been much better and I feel a lot more normal. I do have a low appetite but not to where I can't eat. I love it!

zonisamide: Been on Zonisamide for maybe 3 years, probably more, can't remember exactly; no grand mal seizures what so ever. Try not to take it late at night though. Take 3 pills all at once, any time during morning hours, or even early afternoon. But this is the best for me, anyhow.

Zonegran (zonisamide): No seizures while taking but have had bad bruising and constipation going on 2 years now. But I'll take no seizures over the side effects!

zonisamide: 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): On maximum dose with Keppra, and still having some break through seizures. Still less then I was having before. No side effects. Had a full term pregnancy while on medication. Baby is very healthy.
