Zonisamide - Zonegran
I took this drug over 6 years ago and I don't remember the particulars. So I am posting how it affected me, as I really remember that.
Please include:

When did you begin taking this med? Don't remember
What was your beginning dosage (amount and number of times a day)? Ditto
How was your dosage increased, and to what levels? Ditto
How has this med helped/benefited you (please be specific)? I had a very good result, very little breakthrough.
What side effects are you having/did you have (please be specific)? At the therapeutic dosage, I could not respond to a answer a simple question at work, like "What are you doing?"
How long have you/did you take this med? About 4 months.
If you have stopped taking this med, why did you stop? Because I couldn't work and take it.
Your thoughts about your experience with this med. I like this medication. I lost some weight, it controlled the symptoms. And the onset of the zombie symptoms was very slow, so slow in fact that I didn't notice my difficulty until my supervisor asked me if I was on drugs, which of course I was! Not good. I stopped that day.
