Hello.
About a month ago, I contacted my neurologist because I kept getting breakthrough seizures. I recently had one, in fact, in the shower. He originally added zonisamide as a third drug.
When I explained that our new insurance will make us pay out of pocket for all meds, he had me start a slow switch over from Vimpat to Zonisamide. I really hope that Zonisamide can keep the complex partials down (at most) to what Vimpat has.
Vimpat alone would cost (at my dosage--400mg/day) a minimum $1,600/month! My Topamax dose, also 400mg/day, won't change. I'm not sure what he wants as the final dosage for Zonisamide.
