Hi mmerrynick,
The only side effect I had from Zonegran was a little sleepiness when starting it, which eventually wore off. I take it at night. I literally have no other side effects from it. I personally do not have any cognitive side effects at all...no stupids, etc. Actually, it has cleared up my thinking.
I was taking Topomax, not Lithium, before switching to Zonegran. I tapered very quickly off the Topomax with no side effects, other than an incredible sense of relief from the release of Topo's side effects! I started Zonegran immediately after the last dose of Topo.
Good luck,
Sooshi
