No, Phenytoin is the actual active ingredient, it's the generic name, it's an antiepileptic.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, suicide risk and gum overgrowth.

You can learn more Phenytoin details here.

Angelica, it's really hard to know what the triggers may be for any given person, especially if the doctors were unable to figure it out.

However, one thing that should be avoided are rapidly flashing lights, such as disco lights, dance halls, video games and etc. because they have been known to trigger seizures in some people.

Les really has it right, taking this is a small price to pay compared to the dangers associated with experiencing seizures.

Are there any comments or questions?

Is there anything I can help with?
