6 Anticonvulsants, I'm surprised you know when you're coming or going. Which meds are you on & at what dosage?
Do or did you have seizures or are they used as a seizure preventive, which to me seems like overkill or are they for neuropathy and other conditions? Could you elaborate?
Take care,
Jake

Hi Leonard, I recently read about an anti-seizure med someone on Facebook posted as being a super drug for neuropathy which has no side effects whatsoever and is far superior to gabapentin and lyrica; it’s Zonisamide (Zonegran) Have you any knowledge of this drug? I would think we’d have at least heard of it before. Helen

Jake, I have never been Dx with seizures, they are given to me for different reasons; pain, sleep, headaches. The dosage has changed over time. I honestly believe I have MS, but I have a crappy neurologist who only wants to take care of my aneurysms, even though my cardiologist is keeping an eye out on my remaining cerebral lesions. Medical care is turning to crap over the last 15 to 20 years.
