zonegran epilepsy

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.

needless to say, he was fired and I went elsewhere. I went to a comprehensive epilepsy center and they found a medication that works really well for me and I have minimal side-effects. I've been on Topamax for 7 years and it's more effective than any other medication or combination or medications I've been on. I know it's really a drag and it truly *****. I take a lot of medication...I have epilepsy, schizophrenia/depression and allergies/asthma.

I have epilepsy. Does anyone else seem to seizures most when ovulating amd during period? What helps?

They were not sure if it was meningitis or epilepsy but the doctors said it had to be considered and treated as epilepsy due to having multiple seizures. I was eventually placed on Zonegran(200mg) daily and only took the medicine for about 4 months. I stopped cold turkey after that and havent taken it since. Do you think i actually have epilepsy and can anything still happen after being off of it for 4 years now?

we took eeg which reported an abnormal sleep eeg record S/o localisation related epilepsy from left fronto central region. since then he was under medication for epilepsy starting from a dose of 100mg of carbamezine tablet which was raised to 250 mg in due course of 2 yrs. epilepsy recurred 3 to four times during the course in b/w 6 months duration and each episode lasted only for 2minutes with a slight eye and facial deviations to right.

i HAVE EPILEPSY FOR FOR 18 YEARS . i`VE BEEN ON ZONEGRAN 500 MG FOR THE PAST 5 MONTHS I BELEILIEVE . I BLACKOUT OUT LAST YEAR . I STOPED TAKING MY MEDS. ALL OF THEM BECAUSE OF MONEY RESONANCES LIKE EVERYONE ELSE I`M SURE ! WELL I GOT ALOT WORST ! i ALSO HAVE ALLEGGRA 180MG -OMEPRAZOLE 40MG-ALPRAZOLM 2MG-PROVERA10MG-LUNESTA 3MG ZYPREXA 2.5ANAPROX 550 MG FLEXERIL 10MG OXYCONTIN 40MG TRYING TO CUT DOWN TO 15 MG AND HOPINGFULLY BACK TO 5MG.

I felt like I was going to pass out and I shook like I was cold for about 10 minutes after. I do take zonegran because I started to have partial and complex seizures late 09 and I'm pretty sure I had some sort of epileptic activity in my brain prior to this happening. I'm wondering if this is the zonegran I just started in November, or could it be related to the Chiari?

Since October I have tried Lortab (3 strengths), gabapentin, Lyrica, Ultram, Relafen, Zonegran, and Trileptal. I am also on Cymbalta and Ambien. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

she put him on medication ZONEGRAN THEN TOPAMAX THEN DEPAKOTE none of them helped. PLEASE tell me whatever you know about this. what should i do? I'm going crazy. THANK YOU!!

seizures still are not controlled and she goes through cyles of increased seizures and memory loss and headaches and seizures seem to be getting more frequent and the keppra is terrible...and now they want to try lamitra or zonegran...every mediceine is so disruptive to her and do not control the seizures..and each change of pattern of her seizures gets more violent and i just don't know anymore ...

I take dilantin and tegretol. Soon zonegran too. Anyone know about that one? I had reactions to trileptal, depakote, and others. I had to stay in the hospital for Lamictal and topamax!!!!!

Has anyone with Chiari had success with Diamox? I'm currently on Zonegran for L-temperal lobe seizures, but the constant pressure and full feeling in my ears and mouth is driving me crazy. Told possible Meniers by ENT, but my Neuro thinks it's the Chiari. She wants to try Diamox, but wants to clear it with my Chiari specialist because of the Zonegran and risk of kidney problems (dehydration).

I started Zonegran in Nov. I saw my Neuro yesterday and she asked about any seizure activity. Of course I told her I had a seizure in March. She ordered a sleep deprived 1 hour EEG because she said she may need to change my medication if I'm still having epileptic activity. Is this really necessary? The complex seizures I was having when I first started having seizures were really bad, and this seizure I had in March was nothing compared to those.

Does anyone know of any medication for complex seizures (L-temporal lobe) that won't make you feel like a zombie? I take Zonegran 200mg and I have absolutely no energy. I'm typically very active and moving all the time. I don't even have the energy to grocery shop or cook anymore. This is ridiculous! I also take Diamox, not sure if this has any affect on my energy level. Recently had a CBC done, and it came back normal. I just started these meds 4 months ago.

I went off the Zonegran because my hair was falling out and my tachycardia spells stopped. At least I hope so. I also think my meds were causing a lot of my anxiety. I don't have this anxiety attacks since stopping seizure medication. I take butterbur for my headaches and this is suppose to increase the oxygenated blood to the brain. I feel so much better these days.

He is now able to start learning, and he came off of all medication except for 75 mg of zonegran. He was on 1400mg a day. It has made a huge difference. Hope this helps.

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).

) My doc and I have to get Zonegran out of my regimen (cognitive confusion, dangerously and abnormally thin) any thoughts on the puffiness?

i have epilepsy, when stressed I have seizures.

i have epilepsy but i really want two drive because my job prospects will increase once i have my licance i had my last siesure 12months ago, what is my situation, what do i need two do ?
