[epilepsy] Zonegran

 

I recently saw yet another neurologist. I found it to be
Despite my wanting to get off of the Vimpat because of it's lack of control and most-likely contributing or causing suicidal thoughts, he wanted to keep me on it and add Depakote. Depakote...a medicine I told him I didn't want because of the extreme weight gain and that I wouldn't do. He was speaking of how it was good for mood. Like it would counteract the bad thoughts from the Vimpat. Useless and stupid idea.
I hated his attempt at acting like a psychologist or something.

I stuck to my guns and I'm coming off of the V and trying Z, which I've never tried. What do others think of it? All I know is that it's not known how it works and that I'm apparently supposed to drink a lot because it can cause kidney problems.
