Hey Bams and welcome!

My doctor will double mine every 7 days, too. I lost hair with Depakote, but haven't tried Zonegran. I'm on Lamictal now, but it's just my 3rd week. Had an increase, but I forget to take my meds on time more often than not.

By half of your body melting off, did you mean like a rash or skin loss? Did they make sure you're not allergic or have the tried something else?

I'm sorry about the seizure return, that always stinks.
