Sure made neuropathy seem much worse. It even burned when I breathed. | I've never had any kind of reaction like this. I'll go back to the gabapentin. | F | 52 | 2 weeks 30 | 5/27/2016 | 4 | Epilepsy | Was on Lamictal for a couple of years and had the memory of a goldfish. When I switched to Zonisamide, I felt so much better and clearer. One big problem... now I have 3 Kidney stones. Passing kidney stones is one of the worst kinds of pain you can imagine! Other problem, I started having partial seizures again (thankfully not the Grand-mals)and I don't want to really up my dosage of a med that gives me kidney stones. Needless to say, my neuro and I are looking for a new med that will work for me. | If you are taking this med, drink LOTS of water (at least 3 quarts a day)! If you start having cloudy urine, add lemon to the water you drink and think about calling your Dr. You may have a kidney stone. | F | 29 | 2 years 200 2X day | 2/28/2011 |
