Sorry I didnt reply earlier I've been a little busy with midterms coming up. Back to Phenytoin. I was taking the selegiline for a few months, and it did have numerous benefits but none that really fixed my core problems, which are anxiety and depression with add (or so my doc thinks...I think the add part is just anxiety).
For the first few weeks I did have noticeable improvement with it but looking back I believe now that the fact that I was in such a low state at that time that any improvement was welcome. Eventually I came to recognize that some form of anxiety was at the core of my symptoms and the selegiline was contributing to it. I was on a low dose 25mgs. and I did like it...if my current regimen fails I will probably go back to it.I was taking Huperzine and vinpocetine with my dilantin but chose to stop to see if the dilantin was really making that much of an improvement on my concentration. Well so far it has and I am very pleased with it. No foggy brain and I dont feel euphoric or depressed just stable. Anxiety for the most part is gone except for all the crap I'm going through for school. So far so good, I will try to keep you posted if you are interested. Oh yeah t.i.d. is med speak for three times daily...
Hope this helps...Brandon
