Re: [epilepsy] new medication - Zonisamide

My daughter Julia was on this medication. When we increased the dose she
had insomnia and didn't sleep for a few days in a row..the worst was a 5 day
stretch! I read that insomnia can be a side effect but, when I asked adults
that had been on the medication they told me that when their body got used
to the medication the insomnia went away and it did.

We first started the medication when Julia was 8 months old and wouldn't
swallow pills so, I would open the pill and poor the contents onto a spoon,
then dump it in her mouth chasing it with a little water. I guess the stuff
tasted TERRABLE b/c she wouldn't swallow so, I had to hold her nose. YES
that sucked....fortunately Julia swallow's pills now but, just a warning the
stuff tastes terrable!
