In reply to Re: Can Zonegran cause fatigue as a side - effect?, posted by SLS on July 9, 2004, at 15:47:20
I guess I would describe the early side effects as fatigue and tiredness...I would get up, do a few chores around the house, then just feel too worn out to do much of anything else. I would desperately need to go lie back down for awhile. I guess that would actually be fatigue, right? I wouldn't really call it weakness, though. But, it was also symptoms of my depression, too, so I don't really know if it was the Zonegran?? I was so depressed, it was hard for me to tell what was what. As the weeks wore on and my body adjusted to the med (I'm very hard-headed, and will give each med a VERY long trial before I give up on it, no matter how it makes me feel - which really sucked when I tried Topamax!) this fatigue did wear off, as I am not experiencing it now (at least, of course, not on a daily basis - we all have our days!!).
Does that help any, or did I just confuse things more?! OH! I take a high quality vit B complex sub-lingually, extra folic acid and extra B12, which REALLY helps with my energy and mood, so if you can, you might want to try that?
Good luck!
