> Hi--

Topamax wasn't my favorite due to all the weirde side effects, but Zonisimide sounds like the same drug, pretty much. He says there's less indication that it helps as well for weightloss (as compared to Topamax).

Yes. I have been on both... but for epilepsy...anyway, awhile ago I was taking Topamax (400mg) (along with other meds) I Had to quit the topamax because of efficacy problems, and dysnomia. I switched to Zonisamide (Zonegran) which I liked MUCH better, it felt a lot "cleaner" than topamax.

Here is a study regarding Zonegran and weight loss
