New Mental Defects or Zonegran Side Effects?
Sun, 01/10/2016 - 00:40I recently had a Neuropsychological evaluation and the doctor came out with two new diagnoses for me: poor attention and VERY bad balance.(so bad I should see a specialist) I was shocked! Recently, I have looked online and some of Zonegran's side effects are trouble concentrating and loss of coordination. So, do you think my brain was diagnosed correctly or that adding Zonegran last year is just showing its effects?
I have known for awhile that

I have known for awhile that my balance has changed. That change was because of a medication. However that change was because I took the medication for 30 years. My regular balance is about normal and I can get around fine. It shows up when the docs have me walking certain ways. In other words I the police wanted me to walk because they thought I might hev had a few too many drinks I would not pass the test.
