Hello everyone. I started Zonegran for better control of my complex partial seizures as well as preventative for migraines that are happening up to 4 a month which is horrible. I take Keppra XR 2000mg, Lamictal XR 400mg, Zonegran 200mg for Epilepsy/migraines. I use Butalbital for migraine PrN/as needed and Propranolol Inderal for Tachycardia which also can be helpful for migraines.
So- I've been taking the Zonegran since Oct. 23 until now and still have had a total of 4 migraines this month and two were moderate two severe. It doesn't seem to be helping at all and I had a complex partial seizure last night that worried my roommate.
I gave Zonegran a try and frustrated that it doesn't work. I also dont feel like being on 3 seizure meds each day adding up to 9 pills! I prefer PRN/as needed medication for my migraines as the aura starts or my tachycardia. My cardiologist recommends being on an as needed drug compared to a daily med if the condition isn't a daily event. Epileptologist recommends a preventative since my migraines have increased since last visit. She also prescribed PT/physical therapy as well for extremely tight muscles which cam be a trigger for tensionheadache which progresses to migraine in my case.
I was hoping for better outcome. Haven't started PT yet. Start Dec 15 and will help I'm sure. Tired of being on sk much. We will be making a plan of action to reduce of eliminate some meds over time.
