For about 3 years I've taken Keppra (Levetiracetam) for epilepsy....along with lamictal (lamotrigine) and zonegran (Zonisamide) which I've taken for over a decade. It seems like I've been gaining weight ever since I started the Keppra. I've gone from a size 6 to a 12 though I wasn't sure if that was associated with my now ex boyfriend who was a big eater. A few months ago my psychiatrist put me on a combo of cymbalta and Abilify for depression. She said the Abilify works to boost the effect of

I just found out I am pregnant. Its been 3 months since I had a period, my periods are pretty irregular, I took a pregnancy test the 1st and 2nd month and they were both negative now the 3rd month it's positive. Well at the end of the 1st month I started taking Zonegran for migraines, I only took 9 pills and then stopped. So i'm confused could I barely have gotten pregnant this 3rd month of not having a period because if so then i'm safe from those pills, and if not if I was pregnant could I r

I need help/a second opinion. :-/ I have been having headaches on an almost daily basis (about 80% of the time, they are at migraine level) since August of 2010. Finally after doing bloodwork and a CT scan, my PC doctor sent me to a neurologist who I've been seeing since January of this year. (Just about a year now.) He has done another CT scan, and an MRI and found nothing other then a herniated disk. He diagnosed me as having Chronic Daily Headaches that on occasion turn into migraines from

I am 23 years old and began having complex partial seizures when I was about 13 and wasn't diagnosed until I was about 16. I have been on zonegran, zonegran and trileptal, and then Vimpat alone. I am now 23 and STILL have breakthroughs usually once or twice a month that'll last a whole day. What are my options? Is there still a chance of me outgrowing these or am I too old now? I am willing to do anything to make these seizures stop but I just don't know how to go about it. Please give advice!

I am a 23 year old male and at the age of 13 or 14 I started having complex partial seizures and I still don't know what caused them. Before I knew what was wrong with me and got put on medication, I would have around 10-12 seizures a week for about a month, then skip a few weeks and have none then 10-12 a week for about a month and so forth. I still have the seizures and was originally on a dose of 13 pills a day (3 zonegran, 3 trileptal in the morning and 4 zonegran, 3 trileptal at night) an

is it safe enough to give it a try?

Transitioning from keppra to zonegran. Vimpat is good, but too expensive.

I started having Complex Partial Seizures when I was around 13. I am now 22 and still have them. My Neurologist just changed me from a TREMENDOUS dosage of trileptal and zonegran (13 capsules a day), to a 1 in the morning 1 at night dosage of Zimpat. Has anybody else taken this medication? If so, how was your experience? Thanks!!

what are the side effects of zonegran?

I was taking Topamax for a mood stabalizer and stopped almost a year ago, however my dr. has since put me on Zonegran for the same reason (4 months ago) and Wellbutrin for depression. After reading online I stopped the Wellbutrin after my hair was coming out in clumps, assuming it was the Wellbutrin, but my hair is still coming out. I am now wondering if it is the Zonegran. It is not just a few strands, it is about 35% of my hair and my scalp will get bright red and burning.

I'm a vegetarian,... and my problem is that I also get really bad migraines. My neurologist recently prescribed me a new medication to try (zonegran) but the problem is that it is only available in a gel capsule. I tried speaking with the pharmacist, and the doctor. There is no other form. Any suggestions? It is sickening me to be taking this pill. Any one also know if there is any way to get a manufacturer to make a different kind of capsule. I've been a vegetarian for about 13 years, a

I am 31 weeks pregnant and epileptic, I have a 15 month old son that I chose to bottle feed due to the medication that I am currently on (Zonegran) which is not safe and has not been studied. Even though I felt I made the right choice I am sad that I couldnt breastfeed and that if it was not for formula my son would have starved. I fully believe in the benefits of breastfeeding and am against formula (unless it is something you really need to use)- This is just my honest feelings and I dont th

For about the past two weeks whenever I swallow anything that isn't liquid I feel nauseous. This also includes swallowing the pills for my epilepsy (zonegran and lamictal). Because of this I have started eating less and less. Also I have had a breakthrough seizure, which I haven't had in at least five years. I don't know what's going on with my body. My sister keeps joking that I could be pregnant, I really hope not. Anyone have any ideas? I know most will say go to a doctor, but I don't have

Hi everyone, I've never had an issue with this nor have ever done one these before buy I was hoping that someone out there can help.

The other Sat night, I went out to the bars and a party of a friend w/whom I am friendly with but not super close. I weigh 112, 5'5, 34; drank vodkasodas and know my limit. I know this crowd runs pretty "fast" for lack of a better word&is not my speed. I don't go out that often, have a controlled nocturnal seizure disorder but I am on Lamictal&Zonegran, am healthy and only seem to have seizures when I mess up my meds, have lack of sleep or less often, really overdrink.

Ok so I am on this medicine zonegran and one of the side effects is loss of appetite(yesss) I got home from school, and it was 3:30. all i had eaten was half a thing of yoplait yogurt, (50 cals) 6 carrots (about 50 cals) and a cup of milk (80 cals) soo 180. I got home and I wasnt even hungry, Maaaybe I was on the verge of being hungry, but i shouldnt have eaten, I ate a cheese tortilla (145 cals) and the rest of my yogurt. (50) so nearly 200 unneeded calories! ugh! wtf is wrong with me...

Does zonegran cause weight loss? How much? At what dosage would I notice? Can I drink alcohol while taking this? I take it for preventing migraines

I have several health problems (Crohn's, fibromyalgia, migraines) and take some medications but none have this reported side effect. It seemed to start around the same time I began taking Zonegran and Dexedrine. Could this be some kind of allergy, or something completely different? In the morning the rash is completely gone. I do have a lot of facial flushing if I get nervous or embarrassed or drink alcohol, but it goes away quickly.

I was prescribed zonagran to prevent migraines and deal with back pain. Can I drink alcohol? I will be taking this every night before bed. Does it cause weight gain/weight loss? Will it control ADD? Side effects?

I'm currenlty taking Lamictal for my bipolar, and i been on it for 5 years, and 2 months ago i started getting a rash, what are my other options, i really dont want to take Depakote or Lithium cause of the weight gain side effect. I was told i cant take Topamax or Zonegran because i had kidney stones in the past, but the thing was is i got kidney stones due to poor water intake and poor diet, i didnt just get them. what are my options when it comes to a mood stabilitzer

I have been taking a prescription of zonegran for about 6 years. Recently stopped taking it. What I want to know is, how long until it will completely leave my system? Like for drug testing reasons.?

I am on topamax now 100mg a day for daily headaches and weekly migraines.. it worked really good for a month or soo, and now the headaches are back... and the side effects are soo bad... I am always cold, my skin is tingling, I slur my words, and can not remember anything... Does Zonegran have the same side effects? has anyone tried both? Zonegran doesn't make you gain weight does it?

I have a lot of ongoing migraines and headaches and my neurologist has suggested topamax or zonegran for prevention. I just want some honest answers from people who have actually taken this medication(s) on how it worked and the side effects you experienced. I generally don't like taking medications on a daily basis but am tired of taking pain killers for my headaches and feel that taking something to prevent a headache might be safer (I currently take vicodin for my headaches) I am not look

I know it's an anticonvulsant drug, but I've heard of people taking it for Bipolar II. Any proffessional advice on the effectiveness of this drug as a mood stabilizer?

On June 14th my doctor put me on Lexapro, a few days after I started taking it I felt these brain fogs, I think it was making me worse, the only reason he put me on it was to counter act Zonegran. I am since off both but wonder if what I am feeling is Lexapro withdrawl from coming off of it so quickly, it gave me complete insomnia and I couldn't function. So I took Lexapro 10 mg for 5 days straight, the next 3 days I took half and the next 3 days a 1/4. I am feeling these burny sensations in t

i do have epilepsy and taking meds for it: Zonegran, and Lamictal

I was just put on zonegran (from lamictal) for partial seizures, but I've heard it messes with your brain and memory, makes you slow... if it does, I will not be taking it. I am in college and I loved lamictal because I could focus BETTER. I cannot afford to be brain dead! Very concerned. Any recommendations for other bi-polar and seizure medicine?

I am a 25 year old female that has suffered from migraines since the age of 15. I have been on several medications over the years to control the migraines. I finally found a successful preventative medication and have been on it since 2007.My only preventative is Verapamil 240 mg twice daily. My doctor tried me on 240 mg three times daily but it was causing my blood pressure to drop too much. My abortive medication is the 6 mg Imitrex injection and Ultram for pain.

Okay I was debating on this for a long time, I have Silent Seizure Disorder which means; Silent seizures, also known as absence seizures or petit mal seizures, do not involve the muscle jerking and spasms that many people associate with seizures. Instead, the patient will appear to just tune out for a short time. Silent seizures usually last 15 seconds or less, with the brain's function being disrupted by unusual electrical activity. and I am also taking Zonegran but im taking the generic

I'm not really sure where to post this. I don't know how to describe this to my psychiatrist and I need help. I need to be productive and I am not. I have been on Effexor XR for years (eight), my current dosage is 300mg. I want to get off of it bc I have not been motivated like I used to be before 2001. My brain is constantly fatigued and I am constantly lazy & unmotivated. I DO NOT feel depressed or suicidal at the present time. I have been diagnosed with several psychiatric conditions:

He can walk for hours upon hours and there is no pain whatsoever. However, once, for example, when sitting down, the pain went from upper spine to lower spine instantly (but didn't "shoot down", as he describes it). He is 38-years-old. Normal weight. Has been diagnosed with slight kyphosis and curvature of the spine. His shoulders are also rounded as well. He has a seizure disorder and has fallen at least three or four times since 1999.
