abstract:
Zonisamide was used as an add-on drug in 25 non-obese patients with drug resistant epilepsy. After 3-month
follow-up patients had seizures’ reduction and the body weight was apparently unchanged. We also found a
decrease of the anxiety levels and an increase of Quality of Life values. Our data are preliminary; we have to
complete our protocol to confirm these findings.
