Zarontin Reviews

Updated

HELP!! My daughter has been on EPILIM for 6 years and gained a lot of weight on it. She went on TOPAMAX (a year now) and she's LOOSING HAIR like crazy?!?! The Dr. wants her to go on TEGRATOL but I see allot of people are complaining about both HAIR LOSS and WEIGHT GRAIN on it? I am also considering ZARONTIN. Does anyone have personal experience with this medication?

These types of side effects are common to most anti-seizure medications and you may never find one that won't cause one or the other.

Tegetrol contains the active ingredient Carbamazepine.

Zarontin contains the active ingredient Ethosuximide

How old is she?

EPILIM is an old AED (anti epileptic drug). I've been on it for 37 yrs.. it definitely has a hair fall out side effect and tremoring of the hands... yes weight gain but this is a side effect with all AED. But i would rather accept these side effects than land up in the hospital with a long account when i come out. I've accepted that i cannot be a waitress due to the epilim and the tremors.. its just something ive accepted rather than land in the hospital.
