ZONEGRAN(zonisamide)-anybody tried it for bipolar?

Posted by Mitch on July 7, 2001, at 10:47:06

Has anybody out there tried Zonegran (zonisamide) as a mood stabilizer? It and Lamictal are the last two that I haven't tried yet. My pdoc suggested it a few months ago. I read the monograph on it and I was a little scared about the possible cognitive and schizophreniform effects (thinking abnormal). The last thing I need is cognitive dulling and abnormal thinking! My pdoc said that it facilitates serotonin and dopamine transmission and it might allow me to go off AD's-which would be nice.
Any experiences with it would be welcome..
