Just a really really quick update, since I'm at work.

I think that I may have had another seizure in the middle of the night on Sunday night/Monday morning. All I know is that I woke up, having bitten down on the side of my tongue pretty violently (it's still sore).

Yes, it's that "time of the month" again. Smack me down with the menopause stick, and fast.

So... why the change in drugs? Does the Zonegran have bad side effects (long term?) or maybe to expensive? Or is your doctor just a moron and wanted to change something that wasn't broken?

Can you go back to the Zonegran?

Oh I'm still on Zonegran ... I just wasn't supposed to take it as my primary drug. It's supposed to be used as a secondary drug, in addition to other medications, like Tegretol or Depakote.

The side effects aren't too bad - at least, that I've noticed. Depakote seems to have over-shadowed any side effects that I might have ... lol

lol sorry I meant use it as your primary, not secondary:)

why can't it be a primary other then it's not "supposed" to be? (stupid doctors I mean really if it works why change it?!?!)

I did tegretol once too... can't remember why I went off it, I know it had something to do with side effects... maybe I slept constantly? *shrugs* that was like 5 years ago.
