Has anyone used the drug ZONE GRAN for use other than EPILEPSY or weight loss?
829098
I have not used it, but I have given it.  Zonegran helps reduce the frequency of partial epileptic seizures, a form of epilepsy in which neural disturbances are limited to a specific region of the brain and the victim remains conscious throughout the attack. The drug is used in combination with other antiseizure medications, not by itself. \n\nA very exciting recent placebo-controlled trial published in JAMA April 9, 2003 issue by Kishore Gadde, M.D. et. al., demonstrated a significant weight loss in obese patients taking zonegran at a dose of at least 400 mg per day. At 32 weeks, the average patient demonstrated a 9.4% weight loss. They lost on average 4 inches in the waist. Patients lost weight in weeks 16 to 32 (although at a slower rate than weeks 0- 16 ) so the final weight loss is not known. This data adds to other data seen in epilepsy patients which found weight loss as well. At least one study suggested that females were more likely to lose weight than males.\n\nIn open label trials, Zonegran® has been shown effective in reducing the number of migraines.\n\nIn open label add on trials, Zonegran® has been shown to be effective in some forms of neuropathic pain.  To answer your question, the use of this drug is still under investigation for neuropathic pain.  I don't know what kind of pain you have, but neuropathic pain is the pain one would experience that is caused by nerves such as in peripheral neuropathy patients that have diabetes.  Do you have pain in your feet or lower legs?  It may help that kind of pain - any other kind, I would have to question.

Orthotrycyclen-Lo is a good one a good bit of the female soldiers we see take it and outside of snapping on someone now and again there is very little outward side-effects. As far as libido, some of them are freaks, so maybe this is what you are looking for. I've also seen fewer sides in Levitra so there you go and take this info with a grain of salt.

Dear RK Epilepsy is a curable disease in almost all cases of early onset disease. After 20 years of taking Dilantin (phenytoin sodium) it should have been eliminated. You are right that exertion, anxiety, stress and insomnia are the worst triggers but with the help of medication it should be controlled. Have you asked the treating doctor about giving you Valproate Sodium? Alone or in combination of Dilantin it has proved to be of immense importance in controling the disease for longer periods of time. Complete cure is very common without resorting to surgical measures. Is it Grand Mal type you are suffering from? I do hope that introduction of Phenobarbitone or Sodium Valproate would be more helpful. Tegretol and Seizonil are too brand names in addition to Epival in case your doctor wants to know. \nGood luck:)

People sometimes take lorazepam to aid sleep & decrease restlessness.

I leave you to make you're own judgment from the following quotes from Wiki, both from good verifiable sources and not the pen of a marketing company trying to make a buck from a mug.\n\nQuote 1:\nPfizer released the rights to the primary ingredient in 2002. Paul \nHutson, associate professor in the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Pharmacy, told the Wisconsin State News, "For Pfizer to release something dealing with obesity suggests to me that they felt there was no merit to its oral use"\n\nIn other words, it doesn't work as it would have been a goldmine to Pfizer if it had.\n\nQuote 2:\nIn March 2006, Consumer Reports investigated the dietary supplement and concluded, "This weight loss drug lacks the clinical evidence for the Consumer Reports experts to recommend this product."\n\nIn other words, there is no scientifically verifiable evidence showing it is effective. Anecdotal quotes by pleased clients preferred by marketeers don't cut much scientific mustard!\n\nSo, I suspect the side effects are that you'll be wasting your money. If you want to lose weight there are only two known methods which don't involve surgery- take in less calories by eating less or eating better and increase calorie usage by doing more exercise either directly in exercise classes or indirectly by lifestyle changes- walk, cycle to work instead of using the car, etc.

Xanax is an anti-depressant and anti-anxiety compound. It does not alter your metabolism but rather works on your central nervous system\n\nIt is not dangerous to do physical activities with Xanax in your system but it might be harder to perform on them. The "Pounding" sensation you experienced was probably more of a panic attack, not directly brought on by the drug.\n\nIf your daily regimen involves strenuous dancing then I would bet that your heart is healthy.\n\nIf you are really concerned it might be advisable to have your physician order an ECG to put your mind at ease.\nSo get back on stage and break a leg.

Quadriderm is called Lotrisone in the US I believe, but it is outrageously expensive without insurance. You can order it from Mexican pharmacies for about 14$ a tube though.

I know of one person who has used it. They quit using it because it felt like it was zapping them all the time. It was used by a 10 year old female who had frequent lows at night. If you are looking for continuous glucous monitoring Meditronics just put out a new insulin pump with a sensor that monitors glucose continuously. Right now insurance doesnt cover it and it costs up front about $1500 with supplies running $350 a month.

Yep, I was on it for about 8 years, until they just changed me to toporal.  I took it for migraines, low blood pressure and a heart condition.  I took it only at night so I slept through the side effects, but had some noticeable weakness, fatigue and tiredness during the day I attributed to Inderal.  But, I didn't have a migraine during the entire time I was on it!

I know Ibogaine!!!\n\nIt is from an African shrub, I have seen it in two forms, one ground up bark in gelatin capsules and also HCI.  It was white and in a gel capsule.  I have witnessed treatment several times.  It is leal in Canada, the UK and other parts of the world.  What else do you want to know?\n\nI happen to have some in my safe right now, really.  Yes it is a schedule 1 in the US.  But no dogs are trained to sniff it and it looks like Valarian Root.  Of couse it does not act like that, it is a drug that can compare to no other.  Long live the Iboga shrub.  \n\nLast resort for hard core drug addicts.\n\nANd for the other answer you got....drug dealers are not a good source for Ibogaine.  Herbal companies in Canada, and the UK are.  I know.  IT can be shipped to Canada, taken in Canada, but don't go alone.  Read lots.\n\nGood luck.  For the record, Gavol is best taken at least 3 hours before taking Iboagaine.  I repaet, read all there is before the adventure.\n\nThe answer below me is accurate, it is off of other web sites that I have visited in the past.  Some of the deaths associated with Ibogaine treatment were not controlled, I mean the addict in one case, snuck drugs into treatment.  ANotehr person was very ill to begin with.  That I beleive was the most recent death, I think in Mexico.  I have met one very famous guitar player that is going on his third year clean after going to a treatment center in Mexico and having the Ibogaine trip.  \n\nKeep in mind that doing drugs has a certain amount of danger associated with it as well.  There is always the chance of having a heart attack, getting arrested, going to jail and prison, lsoing your children, your wife or husband, and so on.  It is all risky business, that is why I call it a last chance therapy.\n\nTHe gavol is for nausea, by the way.

Well it doesn't look like it is a superdrug for weightloss and I think you are not objective about the drug. I bet it has some negative side effects. If it doesn't then I think it would be used as a drug for anything other than weightloss. Most likely it will be used for smoking cessation or for increasing short term memory and the doctor would tell you that you would lose 20 pounds a year as a side effect. It might even be prescribed for Korsakoff's Syndrome in addition to Thiamine.

Since they are now marketing to "consumers" instead of doctors (like they used to), they have to come up with catchy names.  "Lorazepam" isn't that appealing or memorable.  "Adivant" is both.  How about this..."4 oz. beef patty on 2 buns with onions, pickles, mustard, ketchup, and cheese, if you'd like" or "Quarter Pounder with Cheese"

recently there was a nes article in "the times of India" daily paper,\nthat the ingtriedients are not uniformly distributed in a tablet and the main medicine is mixed with binding agents, so breaking a tablet into two or grinding it into powder form does not reduces the dose concentration(i.e. gm per volume)rather in some cases like ibrufane , it can be harmful to intake broken tablet.\nbetter consult a doctor

I'm not a 100% on this, but I think there are some interactions between belladonna and anti-depressants.\n\nAlso, if you have ever had an eating disorder DO NOT TAKE WELLBUTRIN! It can cause seizures, I know I got them for a month before my pharmisist thought to ask that when I complained.\n\nBoy was I mad, my Dr knew I was a recovering anorexic!

I don't know if it is available in the middle east, but it is currently available in Europe and Canada.  \n\nI learned about this drug at a conference, the information was buried in a two hour talk by the NIH representative.  (I am surprised I was actually paying attention rather than snoozing).  This appears to be one of the safest drugs to come along in quite a while.  She wasn't trying to sell it or advertise it, but was showing boring graphs and charts, and scientifically discussing the clinical trial results.   Interesting side effects profile, most of the "side effects" are quite beneficial, such as lowering the bad cholesterol levels, reversing some of the symptoms of insulin resistance.  \n\nI have no need for the drug, but was so impressed, I am planning on investing a substantial amount into the company by the end of this year.  It is due to be released for use in the USA in 2007.\n\nBy the way, what would you be using it for?  It has several recommended uses.
