Measure
Zonisamide
Subjects will receive zonisamide titrated to a target dose of 500mg orally, daily, double-blind Zonisamide: titration of dose to 500mg oral, daily, over 8 weeks, then 6 weeks of treatment at that dose
Placebo
Patients will receive placebo pills that are made to match the zonisamide medication (via over-encapsulation, double-blind, subjects will receive same number of capsules as the active medication group Placebo: placebo
