    I have been using it now since July 07 and at first it worked. ALTHOUGH, I had severe gas, painful. I would find myself sleeping all the time, yelling at my son and having no interest in him whatsoever. I would cry myself to sleep at night thinking he too was in some way depressed bc of the situation, although being only three.

    I had dibilitating migraines that had me in the hospital. This medicine has made it so that I do not have any. I can't imagine not using it. It is also easy as I can take all 5 pills at one time rather than through out the day.

    I took this drug for MANY years as migraine prevention. I started at 100mg when that was the only one available and slowly lowered my dosage until I finally was able to go off it. It worked wonders, I went from having 2-4 migraines a week to 1 a month and then none at all. I have stopped the zonegran for a few months now and I have not suffered a migraine!
