Cluster seizures from Zarontin?!

Thu, 09/11/2014 - 09:10

Since I had started Zarontin, it had given me cluster seizures :( I have been off it for almost 3 weeks and still having them :( I NEVER had this before. I was on the lowest dose  which was 250 mg :( I regain conciousness and everything but the point is I am having a lot. I have an EEG Monday and it is a sleep deprived one. I had a lot this morning maybe 17 or so :/

I am only 18, I know it is a side effect because Zarontin the most common withdrawl side effect is considered seizures. How do I deal with the seizures until then? They're my normal absence ones.
