 2  Absence seizures My daughter has puked it up every time we give it to her straight. She's still having seizures just not as often but the meds do no good if she immediately pukes it back up. I've tried mixing with her juice but she's 50/50 on drinking it (and I don't let her see me put it in) . Decreased appetite. I feel awful. I've woken up middle of the night to her choking on her own puke from this mess. I will be calling her neurologist. It's not working for us. When I try to get her to eat so I can give meds she starts gagging. Not that fake kind either. F 3 21 days

 2  Petit Mal Bruising, Bones aching, tired, insomnia, lumps under her skin. She's seeing things , scared to be alone. Weakness. I hopefully can get in today to see her neurologist. She cannot continue to stay this sick all the time. I'm praying they have another medication to help her. F 8 0 months

 1  petit mal epilepsy trouble focusing, depression, suicidal tendancies, severe apathy leading to self mutilation I was on zarontin for 5 years, after hospitalization for a suicide attempt I was taken off it and without therapy or anti-depressants I felt like my cheery outgoing self again after ONE WEEK. If this is changing your child's mood PLEASE demand another medication. F 5 years

 1  Petit Mall Seizures If I didn't take the medicine on a full stomach, I would get dizzy and sometimes throw up. Bad memory... (that just may be me) I stopped taking the drug in 2002 b/c my seizures stopped. They came back in late '05. When I went to the doctor to get back on medication, he asked me what I used to take. When I told him, he started asking questions about my school work and how well I did in school. Aparently this drug impairs your ability to learn. He was surprised to learn that it did not affect me though. Overall though.... I hated this drug and would not recomend it. Lamictal is a much beter drug! F 21 8 years
