I have also been on it for years and now the Nero doc is taking me off of zonegran and just keeping me on that I'm not sure about it but I'm ready for the ride I guess. I don't have any other choice. I have nervous twitches in my hands alot. Good luck

I am new to taking medications for my seizures. They have given me Keppra at the hospital and it had a bad effect on me, so I haven’t taken it since. Neuro Doctor put me on Aptiom and I’m not feeling that it has helped anything other than sleeping through the night. I’ll experience 10 or more focal seizures a day after I took that medication the night before. I know he will try to up my dosage but I don’t want to take it anymore. I have been offered to go see a doctor that will help me get my medical Marijuana card, and that is the route I would much rather take. I’m sorry I didn’t answer your question, just wanted to put my experiences out there for everyone.

Out of all the medications I've taken I've never had unbelievable seeing I've been on every combo of drugs ever.

I used to take it about 12 years ago and it wasn't affective for me for any of my seizures and I have Comlex Partial seizures and my Grand Mal seizures. The side affects I was told to keep a close eye on while taking it by my neaurologyst were thoughts of suicide and agressive behavior.
