Hi John,
No secret on Zonisamide (trade name Zonegran), it is under clinical trials for mood stabilization in Bipolar Disorder. It is my understanding it is FDA approved in this country for seizure control in epileptic patients. The current thinking is mood stabilization for Bipolars is the key to effective treatment. The problem comes in when the depression does not resolve with mood stability and the use of convential antidepressants, in turn, destabilizes the mood = dysphoric mania or mixed state (a dangerous situation).
Your comments on chip tech. and capatialism are well taken. I completely agree!
