Hi. I have been on this medication for about five months and it seems to work, but I also take two other medications that I had been on for a longer time. I don't really have any side-effects from the Zonegran, just in the beginning, it made me very tired for the first couple days while the dosage was being increased. And I do have to periodically get my levels checked, but not as often as Tegretol (Carbamazepine). Overall, I like the Zonegran- my neurologist told me it helps with alot of other conditions as well (weight loss, migraines/headaches, bipolar disorder, neuropathy, and a few other conditions). I hope you have a good experience with this medication.
