A message from my husband


I am typing this message for my husband. He wanted all of you to know that I am becoming a different person as I am weaning off my medication. (Zonegran) He tells me he has noticed very subtle changes in my behavior. He says I am happier, more vibrant, less anxious, and more patient. I am sleeping better. My dreams are more vivid. I am beginning to wake up rested instead of feeling drugged or hung over. And I AM HUNGRY!!!!!!!! I want to eat, eat, eat! I feel like I am eating a lot but my husband says I am just eating like a normal person for the first time in years. I hope so much that this progress can continue. It saddens me to think how much the meds affect us. I truly did not realize it until my husband pointed it out. I am sharing this in hopes of helping others who do not want to believe it when they are told by someone they love that their meds are messing them up.

P.S. The headaches are slowly disappearing.
