Hello I have partial seizures and right now I am on toparimate, lamotrigine, clonazepam, Citalopram and days before and after my period acetazolamide. I used to have Generalized so I got a VNS (Vagus Nerve Stimulator) and I was good for 1 year, but then the seizures came back and my neurologist now says they have changed to partial. She first suggested switching to perampenal, but I saw all bad reviews and I’m conflicted if I should switch medications. Does anyone have any good suggestions?
So my medication is getting changed because of my liver, I was wondering if anyone had been on any of these? Lacosamide Zonisanude Perampanel Topiranate I want to know what kind of mood changes everyone has had and side effects? One of these is going to be the next one I’m on and I don’t want to choose another one that makes aggressive or anything, thank you in advance!
I try not to take anything. But find I have too or wake up in hospitals
I've been on it for years and my seizures keep getting worse. Now I'm having multiple forms of seizures instead of just tonic clinic like I had originally. And Dr keeps upping my dosage instead of switching meds even though I've requested it repeatedly. I sought out a different Dr and the new one kept me on same med (zonisimide) and dosages and seizures keep getting more frequent and worse and are now coming in clusters that sometimes last for a week!. Only thing nee Dr did was add Nayzilam… read more

I know nothing of it and neither does my mom. Shes never heard of it. It was created or found after she stopped taking meds. The doctors only told me the usual side effects that come with medicine, dizzy, nausea, drowsiness. Anything i need to worry about?
I take Zonisamide. Keeps My weight down too! As far as memory loss, it could be from the Vimpat I take.
My opinion all side effects suck. Sorry but I'm being true.
what is the highest daily dosage Zonisamide anyone has been on and did it work and what effects did you/ do you have ?
Were you only on Zonogram for the 6 years or did you take something else w/ it?
Hi,
Over the past 4-5 months my mood easily changes. If I'm hanging out with friends I will walk away and sit alone or when I'm with my girlfriend I will randomly get upset and start crying. I will say I was drinking before this and that was probably not a good thing. I stopped drinking since I am on medication for my seizures. Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations?
Thanks
Gosh never heard of it .. sending prayers your way
I’m angry all the time. I pop at the most minor negative things
