For Seizures "This medication is toxic. I was on it and Vimpat for years, and it made me so sick that I couldn’t walk. All of the doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me, and I was in the hospital for 9 days. I stopped the meds as a last resort. It affected my mental health, ability to think, and gave me weakness, numbness, muscle cramps, dizziness, and a chronic pain that felt like my entire skeleton was in a pressure cooker."

For Seizures "Not a fan of Zonegran, it did not improve my seizure condition at all and caused hyperglycemia, increased hunger, loss of muscle, and memory impairment."

For Seizures "Zonegran has stopped my seizures, but I'd rather have seizures than deal with these side effects. I lost my job due to this medication. I am 21 years old and tried watching Harry Potter... couldn’t understand a thing. Words do not click for me anymore. I had to set reminders for everything because I can’t even remember simple tasks. Social activities are out of the question. I am so anxious and paranoid all the time. I get a feeling that someone is behind me even if I’m lying down or standing up against a wall. I haven’t battled with depression that’s been this intense before. This stuff makes me feel non-existent. All I want to do is sleep. It made me weak physically, emotionally, and mentally. It’s changing my personality and my relationships. It made me so angry and hurtful. It’s scary stuff. I wouldn’t recommend this medication, especially for those who already cannot communicate clearly due to age or disability."
