Perphas you nephew could discuss the possible use of Zonegran (zonisamide) with his doctor. I remember from the time when I was following Elan more closely, that there appeared to patients who were satisfied with its use. There are of course a number of potential side-effects which some people experience, but not other.

One - in this case potentially positive - side-effect is that the drug appears to cause weight loss. Elan has even run some small trials on this theme.

You can find the label at fda.gov

Please, note that I am not in any way in a position to give or even suggest medical advice. The potential for Zonegran - which is approved for seizures - to induce weight losses, was just a small piece of information, that happened to cross my way.
