if yu took dilantin, and didnt need it, what would happen ? ## There is no good feeling on Dliantin. I have taken it for 15 plus years all I ever felt was the side effects. If that is why you would take it . My advise would be smoke some pot if you live in California its sold over the counter. If there is a medical need for it. Dilantin is not a fun medication.

My brother is working out of town and went to the hospital because he wasn't feeling well. apparently he had a seizure while in the hospital and they prescribed this medication to him. My concern is whether or not they could have given him something else or was this the best medication without a definate diagnosis of Epilepsy. ## this site is not medical professionals and without knowing his medical history and test results, no one can possibly tell you. When he returns home, I suggest he see his regular doctor. ## This is my point exactly. without having an entire medical history I don't think it was necessary to put him on such a mind altering medication as this without the definate diagnosis of Epilepsy. do you think you could refer me to a doctor that may be able to understa...

Alcohol with epitec: I take 25mg Epitec twice daily. Can I consume a glass of wine on special occasions although I am taking Epitec? ## Drinking alcohol while taking Epitec is not recommended. This medication is reported to contain the active ingredient Lamotrigine, which acts as a central nervous system depressant (as does alcohol). If you really did want a glass of wine then it is highly recommended that you check with your prescribing physician first since they are familiar with your full medical history. While it may be okay to drink a single glass of wine (moderation), it is best not to take a chance without knowing if you are specifically at risk for an interaction.
