I like being on Zonisamide!

Controlled Until 2014 When Toxic Encephilopathy Resulted In Grand Map Seizure And Double Vision.
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Tried many anti seizure meds and they only differ in intensity and duration, frequency fairly constant-when trying to nap in afternoon or starting with drowsiness 8-9 pm. Frequently awake with recurring seizures (my doc calls them episodes since I don't lose consciousness. A few puffs of medical marijuana allows me to return to sleep without fear of more seizures. Now trying Aptiom (sp?) after Dilantin, oxcarbazapene, carbazapene, kepra, lamictol, etc., etc.

Experience With Using Lamictal With Either Zonisamide Or Clobazam???
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been on Lamictal (800mg) since diagnosed 20 years ago which controlled seizures well until 3 years ago (have several Gran Mal per year). Dr added Keppra (3,000 mg) but hasn't seemed to be effective and causes rage issues. She is now suggesting Clobazam or Zonisamide. Anyone with a combo of either with Lamictal?
