Thu, 05/18/2006 - 09:26Anyone on it? I'm on 300mg. Been on it a just over a month after a rapid switch from Keppra, had very bad psychological side effects. Trying to give this one a chance, had 1, may be 2 good weeks now i'm starting to feel like I did on the Keppra: very aggitated, anxious, mood swings, sudden depression, feel like my body is trembling/ humming/ full of electricity, feel like I want to pull skin off/ hit myself to relieve the irritation...going CRAZY...anyone relate?

Hi FayeZee, I am also on zonagran 600mg a day it may be a reaction from the keppra, all i can say is give it awhile, but mood swings are common with E, as is depression, I do know what it feels like, if you drink anything with caffine cut back it will help a lot, good luck and let me know how things go, and keep intouch with your doc, zonagran is new and there is not a lot of info on it.
