I have been completely satisfied with this med. I was suffering with severe pain in my face for years and lyrica only gave me 50 lbs of weight and felt high all the time. I take 300mg at bedtime and no side affects. Miracle drug for me and I'm down from 174 to 116lbs.

Started taking this medication in lieu of lyrica....what a blessing! I not only lost the weight gained from the lyrica, but all the heaviness of the joints and the pain has disappeared. It is the difference of night and day with my life. I still have good and bad days with my fibro pain and back pain, but I have lost 24 of the 40 pounds that I gained while on lyrica. I did this with no effort or d ... Show Full Comment

I did this with no effort or diet change, but feel so much better. Now I am watching my food intake and making better choices with what I eat......just been great!

I don't want to be and cannot be depressed and have such a lack of energy when i have a 2 yr old son running around getting in2 everything and a life 2 live. it's hard enough fighting depression without having a med making u feel that way. i stopped taking it on my own and will contact dr ASAP. I DO NOT LIKE THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THIS MED! please be careful if ur dr prescribes it

I have temporal lobe epilepsy which I had surgery to correct on 7/25/10. For several years I had intractible seizures, and my body just plain didn't seem to like anti-convulsants. I suffered with side effects, some life threatening (literally), until this was introduced. I must admit, even since the surgery I have had quite a few strong auras (I get complex partial seizures) but absolutely NO s ... Show Full Comment

I have temporal lobe epilepsy which I had surgery to correct on 7/25/10. For several years I had intractible seizures, and my body just plain didn't seem to like anti-convulsants. I suffered with side effects, some life threatening (literally), until this was introduced. I must admit, even since the surgery I have had quite a few strong auras (I get complex partial seizures) but absolutely NO side effects. And in 8 months of being on this medication, I've only had my dosage increased once for seizure activity. That's incredible for me. It usually gets increased monthly. I will be taking this until I'm finally able to be weaned off of anti-convulsants altogether (here's hoping...:-)

I am now on my second round of taking Zonegran for Bipolar Disorder. First time maxed out at 600mg- worked GREAT but I lost too much weight after 18 months. Now, after app. 18 months, weight is being maintained with other meds. Great med for my mood stabilization (for the most part)!
