In a recent study I read, some benefitted a great deal from zonegran but, many... say 30% found themselves settling into a calm depression. That is what happened to me this time. Even at this low dose (100 mg every other day), I was withdrawing and feeling blue. I think zonegran has benefits. During the summer, however, I lower my zoloft to 12.5 or 25 mgs so I can lose the weight I gain during the winter. I think zonegran may work for me if I went to the high end dose of one of the anti-depressants but I can't do that now. For health reasons, I need to keep my zoloft low so I have a chance of weight loss. I'll try again next fall. (During the winter I'm hungry all the time anyway so I can take as much zoloft or effexor or whatever as I want...) In the study, 30% or so moods leveled off at a point above depression and below hypomania. Maybe for you, it might work.
