> I only took it for a week, because I was afraid that perhaps I was allergic to sulfa drugs and the itching was pretty bad at the time.
Did you itch all the time or only when you sweated or showered or became overheated?
> Yes, I was incredibly fatigued.
This fatigue has me wanting to stop this drug. It is adding insult to injury. I have trouble getting myself off a chair and washing dishes. I am getting nothing done to keep up with house chores. Getting myself into the shower is an achievement.
> During that week on Zonegran I had one run where I bonked during a 12-miler, which had never happened before (I normally handle that distance quite easily).
That doesn't sound too bad if you ask me.
> How long have you been on Zonegran now, are you still tired and itching at all? Did you start out at 200mg?
I started at 100mg for one week. I have been at 200 for just over 2 weeks. I would like to think that I could stay on it for 3 more. Too much is at stake for me.
