I recently added Zonegran to see if it would help my OCD symptoms and it has but unfortunately my anxiety is increased and I'm having interrupted sleep with vivid dreams. Does anyone know anything about Zonegran?

I'm BP and researched it pretty well before hand regarding mania. I didn't find enough risk not to try it. My main reason for attempting it was to offset (or lose) weight caused by Nardil similar to how Topamax does. They're similar medications from how I understand it.
I stopped taking it 2 weeks after starting it. I got anxious/restless and my mood dropped. I take other medications so who knows, but my experience sounds similar to Phidippus's.
I'm sure you ran a search Phidippus, but this was the thread that gave me some hope about it: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20040627/msgs/361899.html
