If your son has been seizure-free for 2 years on Zenoxa, doctors usually continue it for 2 to 3 years without seizures before considering stopping it. Any dose reduction must be done slowly and only under a doctor's advice. Common side effects include dizziness, sleepiness, tiredness, headache, nausea, vomiting, double vision, stomach pain, diarrhoea, constipation, and weakness.
