> Just a thought; I have a female friend with bipolar disorder that uses Zonegran (zonisamide) with success. The only AED that she uses is Zonegran. I have no idea if it would work for you. I tried it once, and I hated it.

Interesting. How did her doctor decide to try such an unusual approach? Especially for grand mal seizures. And she only has bipolar? What type of bipolar?
I did order the Valdoxan. I like how it works on circadian rhythms. That may (please, please!) help my every few days and/or during the day switches.
But I think these "waves" may be a separate issue. They are occassional, and began with Dexadrine. The benefits of dexadrine outweigh these feelings, I am just worried about the future. I think it could "possibly" be related in a round-about way to seizures. Although there is barely any similarity - just misfirings or something related to the electronic communication. They are hard to explain and they vary in intervals, but they do feel like my electrical impulses are no synchronized/screwy. I have read that post-ictal seizures can cause depression.
Or of course, the dex is causing some nuerochemical imbalance.
If you can tell me anymore about her experience on Zonisamide that would be great.
