Rufinamide "After trying many other anticonvulsants, we finally found one that works! Thank you so much to those who invented this drug. My daughter, 8 years old, used to have a gazillion seizures and drop attacks in a day. Now she has none! Yup! 0 attacks. She is seizure-free for a year now."

Rufinamide "Super happy my daughter has gone from 100 plus seizures a month to under 10. So truly happy and thankful! No major side effects, it does make her extremely thirsty, and she can only drink room temperature drinks. If colder, it makes her cough as if she is choking."

Rufinamide "Until Banzel, I was taking Ativan at least once every day. And the aftereffects left me really in a bad mood and sometimes aggressive. With Banzel, and my other seizure medicines, I haven't needed Ativan since December of 2009. I can even get out of the house. It works for me."

Rufinamide "Effective from the lowest dose, it stops seizures immediately. After 5 days on average, the dose is increased towards the optimum dose. The number and severity of seizures are significantly reduced. Tolerance to dose-dependent anti-epileptic activity develops, but it is a very valuable drug for resistant epilepsy."

Rufinamide "It works for my daughter with minimal side effects. One thing, though, is after over a year of taking it, it seems to be losing some effectiveness. Trying Onfi with it now."

"My son just started to take Banzel, and he is still having seizures, but every day they are less and faster to resolve, so I think it's working, slowly but working, and no too major side effects."
