don't prescribe Zonegran more often? I know it's not as well known as the other anti-seizure/mood stabilizers, but it seems to be so effective (especially for me!), without all the horrendous side effects, especially compared to Topamax. Is it because of the sulfate allergy problem? Is it as effective for migraines, seizures and bipolar d/o as Topamax is? Why would a pdoc would choose Topa as a first-line defense against these disorders, with it's miriad of se's, when there are such drugs as Zonegran? Maybe it's too new. I have a feeling it has to do with $$?
Just curious.
