junebug....how long had you been on the zonegran? had you ever had your blood levels checked before?
how often are we suppose to have our levels checked? I have not have mine checked yet.
thanks....and wishing you the best with your med change....know that can be difficult.
Maybe 6 mo I've been on it since starting it? I know when I went into the hospital with brain swelling and hallucinations and everything that comes with that the incompetent ER dr. didn't even do a background on what meds I was taking other than asking what meds I was on. It turns out the Doxycyclyine antibotic I was given for a misdiagnosis of MRSA made the Zonisimide work less but still go through my system making me have Tonic clonics so much that my brain started to swell and I started to hallucinate. Oh that was lovely. I don't know why anyone in their right mind would want to hallucinate. I made the nurses cover up the picture in my hospital room because it was moving. It freaked me out!
I'd check with your dr about how often levels are supposed to be checked. I think it is really up to you and your dr. unless the FDA requires other measures.
