This Zarontin/Ethosuximide has been effective in controlling Absence Seizures, however the liquid for is made with Red and Yellow Dye. It is totally unacceptable the FDA and the US still allows this in our drugs and foods while other countries ban these dyes. They cause cancer and headaches and a multitude of other problems. This is an anticonvulsant drug and it is ridiculous that it contains any ... Show Full Comment

Mood has leveled out, couple minor stomach aches reported and has mentioned trouble sleeping at times...so far, so good. The other drug was a nightmare and this is a blessing (so far). Glad to have my son back!

I had epilieptic seizures from around 5 years old when (in 1958) my Doctor controlled it with a combination of Phenytoin and Phenobarbitol. The outcome of this was that I spent the next 6 years at school in a sedated and confused condition resulting in me being regarded by teachers ar retarded and by the school bullies as an ideal victim. At the age of 11 another Doctor prescribed Zarontin and turned my life around; within a year I was top in Sciences, English, Math and so on. After about 5 years of the new medication I had grown out of the condition and no longer needed treatment. I am now 58 and have worked for a number of the top consultancies in the world as an Electronic Design Engineer - none of this would have been possible without this extraordinary drug Zarontin. Thanks Parke-Davis you gave me my life back.
