Zarontin

[jgeekie]

Hey everyone;

I have no idea where to put this so I'm putting it here. Moderators feel free to mvoe the thread.

I take Zarontin (Ethosuximide). The caplet form of the drug has become unavailable here in Canada, and all I can get is the liquid. My question for the community is this;

For those on Zarontin, do you notice a difference in the side effects between the liquid and gelcap forms of the drug?

I had very, very minor side effects with the gelcaps, but I find the side effects from the liquid much more severe.

Thanks

Jay

Generally, a liquid form is absorbed faster, though the difference between liquid and gelcaps should be pretty small. Are there any fillers or binders that are in one form but not the other?

You might also try taking the liquid on a full stomach, to slow absorption and -- perhaps -- even out any side effects.
