Part of an article in the NYTimes this morning. I'm not familiar with Zonegran. Is it used as a mood stabilizer too?
I was offered Zonegran as a possible switch from Depakote/Neurontin back when it came out. There was a slight risk of schizophreniform psychosis with it and it spooked me. The good thing about it from what I remember...were no life-threatening skin events, long half-life (can take it once at bedtime), low discontinuation rate during clinical trials (12%).
