@bustrbrwn22 I looked it up, Jen, and it's actually a sulfa drug that treats nerve pain as well. I know that I had a bad reaction to sulfa very long ago, so I could never take it. I have never heard a word about it on this forum. If you take it, let us know how it works. Lori

@bustrbrwn22 @lorirenee1 and others - here is some information from 2015 on Zonisamide but it doesn't mention that it is very effective for pain relief. I would run any alternative treatment by your doctor or a pharmacist to make sure there are no interactions or side effects with medications you are already taking...just my two cents.
Zonisamide for neuropathic pain in adults - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6485502/

Good morning @lorirenee1, First of all, I want to tell you that I notice your consistent and very positive support of other members.....not a long tirade....not some automatic reply.......just a genuine acknowledgment of their issues, in words that show compassion, a calm acceptance of self and a respectful focus on what is true for you.
I also note that you have had bad reactions to sulfa.....some time ago. I was given sulfa by a Rheumatologist 20 years ago. I ended up rolling on the floor because of the itching and pain. I ended up in ER where more of my body parts were complaining about the sulfa. I wonder how long one should wait before trying it again if ever.
May you be pain-free and at peace today.
Chris
