Hello, I very much need an answer because my doctor will not give me a straight answer. I'm currently on Lamictal (800mg a day) and Zonegran (200mg a day) and I'm a college student so I tend to drink. I've never had a seizure while consuming alcohol but I'm terrified when doing so. So heres my question...
When I drink (beer) with my meds, will it bring on a seizure? or just enhance the side effects?
Please I very much need to know asap! Maybe even stories would helpl too.
Hello!!!
I was wondering what anyones experience was on Zonegran. I have tried Topamax previously but couldn't withstand anything over 1/4 of a 25 mg pill....thats right 6.25.
Went to new NL and he rx Zonegran @ 25mg. I feel like a walking Zombie and have had a worsening (didn't know that was possible) migraine for the last 3 days which is how long I have been on this medication.
t think of them at this time)
I am now being treated with Zonegran, Depakote. The Zonegran was working for a little while but I have seemed to reach a plateau. I have not been migraine free at all since November, but there have been times where my migraines have been less painful. I work for a health insurance company and I am on the computer for 8 hours a day. I have been unalbe to work a full time scheule for the past 3 months due to my migraines.
I do not know who to go see about the aura, I had my eyes checked when the doctors were thought I had MS and I have 20-20 vision and no floaters. I presently see a neurologist who has me on zonegran 2oo mg and flexoril 3 times a day and Diflucan as needed and Maxalt. When the headaches get out of control she puts me on prednisone. I also see a physical therapist at her office weekly for the headaches. I have had trigger point injections ( did not help).
I am 31 year old healthy female. I work part time and have 2 small children. On Sept. 17 of 2012 around mid-morning when I began to have vision problems that included spots in my eyes and almost like a shadow fell over my left eye. I thought perhaps I was going to get a migraine since I had heard people describe them that way. The vision probs lasted about 45 minutes and when it went away a headache set in. It was what I would call a mild to moderate headache. Ever since I have a headache.

I appreciate it. I have been on depakote, topamax, lamotrigine, zonegran, gabepentin, lamictal, and keppra. Most of them make me so dopey and forgetful that working is definately a challenge. But...no work...no insurance...no medical care. What a nasty circle. I am allergic to the zonegran, blisters in my mouth etc. The others caused severe leg pain, eye pain, anorexia, hairloss, and I suppose i could go on. But you get the picture.
She also suffers from ADHD, which I have to say which is the worse of 2 evils! She is taking 300mg of Zonegran for the seizures and Vyvanse and intuniv for the ADHD. I was also told to give her B6 for her very very very bad mood swings which also comes with these 2 diseases. It does help! I was also told by a friend about a vitamin called 5-HTP. Does anyone know anything about this? This is a very hard thing to deal with, I wish like most parents I can take it from her.
Hi all. I am feeling better today but I am REALLY grumpy, I just want to go URGH!! and scream, jump out of my skin. Does anyone else feel this way sometimes? I am at the end of my "cycle" (sorry guys) and I feel like I am on the verge of a panic attack, off balane and dizzy, irritated, pissy, really bad. What should I do?
Most likely this is just a change in routine and she is a little unsure and worried. But I don't think she is "distant" as that is a human emotion we can't assign to pets. Dogs are very much creatures of habit and routine. Her routine is off a bit, but as you get back to normal - she will also.
You can help by having someone fill in on the play time, and work on some games from your bed side.
I hope you both will be fine.
thats not good. It's so weird typing on a different post. But this is a good idea you had. I don't get the depressed then mania mood swings. I get anger instead with my bipolar. And no I mean hypomania too. No mania at all. Just anger. I do get good days like today. I had a great time on my computer today. Just so glad to be able to keep my internet. So how is your mood now? Up or down? I'm up but not like super happy. Just in a good mood.
Idk what's wrong! I'm so extremely grumpy today! Someone will start talking to me and it just annoys the **** out of me. I mean I don't wantto feel like this, iI feel so ugh. How do I fix it?
