Dilantin Toxicity

Flowmaster00

You have been off the dilantin for over 4 years now. Was it worth quitting?

Your quote:

"For all of you out there I was taking dilantin for 26 years and dilantin causes so many problems. It has destroyed parts of my brain. I went to UCLA and the doctors seen how long I was on dilantin and took me off cold turkey as it does so much damage to your body and brain. I was put on trileptal and I havn't had 1 seizure yet. The first thing I noticed was that I had to turn all of my phones down because my hearing is like a kid again. However dilantin has made my thinking much slower which that part of my brain is destoyed. Just go to google.com and look at all of the lawsuits and long term side effects. If you see this you will look into other medications. UCLA told me that nobody should be taking dilantin longer than 2 years max! I also found out that you have to be off dilantin for another drug to even work as dilantin blocks just about everything you take with it. Most doctors don't know this or won't tell you this. Some doctors won't tell you because they get these kick backs from the drug company. I was told years ago that dilantin causes seizures as well. After all of the problems dilantin caused me I looked into that and it does cause sezures too. Good luck if you on dilantin."

DangerDash,

I did not quit my seizure medication. I was just responding to "Flowmaster00" post from 2009.
I have no issues with dilantin.
