Zonisamide "RUN, DO NOT walk from this medicine. I used this for about a month. It's a useless medicine. More of a get-rid-of-you medicine. Causes a whole load of problems that you don't need."

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!"
