Sometime during October, I responded to a message about muscle
cramps, I  had suffered with them while I was on depakote and explained
how my doctor had me add magnesium to help relieve them. I went on to

I have had TLE all my life (I am 47 now).  I was taking dilantin until
I was 10 or 11.  Before they took me off dilantin I was a straight A

Google*** as my poster.

went from 8 to 70 this morning after that yob's crosspost I replied to

I've been going through some changes lately in my medications after
basically having the same thing for about 20 years.  I've been taking
zonisamide for the past couple of months, which is something of an

really sleepy and a slight headache, and unable to concentrate. I also

few minutes begin to hyperventilate, convulse, cry and grind ...

Thank you for the info, guess I’ll make that darn appointment and go see
what’s up with the migraines. Guess I just don’t want all the testing and
trying new meds but perhaps knowing will be half the battle. Didn’t know
about the insurance being void if it’s on record and since I ...

We've recently set up website for information and support for those

So, this is what happened Friday mid-morning.  Friday, I only have 1 ballet
class and that is it for the entire day.  I was totally fine the first hour.
