Re: [epilepsy] Re: Zonegran

I was on the Zonogran, but I was on three other meds, so I don't know which
I got the side effects from, but while I was on the Zonogran, I lost a lot
of weight. I could eat anything I wanted, and not gain any weight. It
started bothering my Kidneys though. My neurologist said this medicine
could cause kidney stones. I slept a lot of the time, but it could have
been any of the meds I was on that caused it. I am on the Vimpat right now,
and I don't care much for it either.Everybody has differences with the side
effects,so hopefully it will help more. Take care. Tammy
