> I switched from Topomax to Zonegran overnight. Stopped 300 mg of Topomax on Thursday, Started 100 mg Zonegran on Friday, 200 mg next Friday, 300 next Friday and stayed there. I like Zonegran much better. Just easier on side effects, less stupids.

My dr. had never tried it either, but was willing to let me try it because he loved the fact that I was getting relief for my migraines with the Topomax and had heard that the side effects were much less with the Zonegran, but had the same good theraputic results.

I started taking Zonegran three weeks ago. I've been at 200mg in an effort to treat bipolar depression. I have two side effects. I itch all over after I take hot showers and I experience profound fatigue all day long. The fatigue was a real surprise.
