Each medication is different for each individual!

Always check with the new meds, you could end up with bad results

My husband is a pharmacologist, while studying at U C Davis before going to Children’s hospital research at Los Angeles. We got married 3 years later I was working at UCLA. My husband got a job at FDA . We moved to Maryland. We raised our children in Maryland and one point I was given zonisimide! 10 year later I am on it again it is a safe medication! I wish you the best!

Zonisamide can be effective; however, it has a long-term side effect. The long-term issue for me is that the seizures move to nighttime because the deep sleep is gone. This medicine messes with the deep sleep mode. My seizures were moving to night, and bags formed under my eyes. I was not getting the deep sleep and studies have confirmed this. I was on that medicine for years, and then post-surgery, when I finally came off that medicine, the brain had to catch me up on all the dreams that should have been happening. I am now more then 11 years seizure-free and I am working on my Masters degree.

I have been on zonisamide for years. Its been a good drug.
