If yes, then please let me know so that I can share the effects of drug and symptoms of disease. ## my 4 year son is taking this medicine and having very infreqquent sleep pattern ,sowould like to know more about the sideeffects of this drug. ## I am currently 26+. As my experience goes, this drug was started with 50mg per day. For about 1month, I did not suffer any epileptic fit. After 1 month, the frequency of fits increased. When I again visited the doctor, he increased my dosage. Again I remained fine for about 1 month, after that the same problem recurred. This continued till my dosage reached the limit for an adult.

Small, white oblong capsule with APO on one side. There used to be markings on the other side of the pill but they have been scraped off.

my husband had a stroke ## The Stroke may be a part of the problem. If your husband recently began taking Dilantin, it may be a matter of not finding the correct dosage for his body and particular needs. I began taking Dilantin when I was a child. I felt weird! It took a little time for my body to get used to the drug, and for the doctors to find the right dosage. During my years 16-32 I no longer took Dilantin. As a young adult the seizure activity returned. Starting the regular dosage of Dilantin I felt like a ZOMBIE. It took a little while for my body & brain to adjust to Dilantin again. It is frustrating to a patient, feeling like they are living in two worlds at one time. Laugh when you can, it's good medicine! Count your blessings! ## March 17,my husband was put on dilanti...

I'm presently taking lamictol and dilantin. I'm trying to go off lamictol because of swelling of the left side of face and white head's on face. I've been on it over four years and it hasn't controled my seizures. I'm on dilantim because many year's back I took it and I was in control. Presently, it hasn't made any changes on the seisures. I'm looking for a medication that will control the seisures, with the amount of side effect's.
