Hi all!
I am trying to gather information about the pros and cons of both Topomax and Zonegran. There seems to be MUCH more info on Topomax, but very little on Zonegran and I am not sure why that is. Can any Zonegran users provide input on side effects in regards to cognitive side effects (and any other side effects that you have noticed)? I am on Topomax and take it for Bipolar disorder as well as Binge Eating Disorder. I also suffer with insomnia and therefore take the Topomax (I am on 50 mg) at night. It does help me sleep. I still suffer fatigue in the daytime, but since I have only been on it for a week, I have some hope that it will pass. My concern is that the cognitive slowing will not.
In any event, I am interested in getting some feedback about both meds and hoping that I can formulate a backup plan with Zonegran in case the Topomax does not work out.
Much thanks,
Jen
