Ethosuximide (Zarontin)

Posted by ed_uk on December 20, 2004, at 18:39:33

Hi,

Ethosuximide is an antiepileptic which is used mainly to prevent absence seizures and myoclonic seizures.

Has anyone ever used ethosuximide to treat a mental health problem?

(Please bear in mind that like most antiepileptics, ethosuximide can cause mental health problems as a side effect.)

Ed.
