I have been on Zonisamide for almost 2 years. It was prescribed for athritis and sciatica. The arthur is completely gone and I rarely have sciatic pain. I never have headaches any more and I have lost almost 40 pounds while taking it. Love that. There have been no bad side effects that have changed my life style. I love Zonisamide. It has given me my life back.

I took Depakote for years with no relief of my true symtoms. When Zonisamide became available, my Doctor put me first in line. After a few weeks, and now 2 years, I feel brand new. It and complete overhaul in meds, and I'm a new person, thank goodness, they put this on the market for MY symptoms!

I have had migranes for 35+ years and thought that nothing could help - Zonisamide helps wonderfully. It makes me a little sleepy but it's worth the trade off!

I HAVE BEEN ON 6-7 DIFFERENT TERRIBLE SEIZURE MEDS FOR GENERALIZED SEIZURE DISORDER (IDIOPATHIC) AND I HAVE NO SIDE EFFECTS WITH THIS MEDICINE. I HAVE HAD ONLY ONE GRAND MAL SEIZURE AND THAT WAS WHEN THERAPY WAS INITIALLY STARTED. THANK YOU, ZONISAMIDE/ZONEGRAN!!!
