If so, please tell me if they actually worked and whats the side effects? I'm only scared to take them because I was just told you can be addicted to them. And I'm far from a drug user.

Hair Loss
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone taking seizure meds find their hair thinning or hair loss to become more problematic the longer you stay on it? I've been on zonegran for over a yr now and I've been steadily losing my hair in chunks. Once my meds were upped after some scary seizures a few months ago, it seems like it's excessive loss.
