> I hope the Dilantin helps you out. I have been taking it (500mg daily) for 21 years for epilepsy and it has allowed me to live a pretty normal life. I have been lucky in that the only side effect I've had is that my teeth started crumbling about 10 years ago.every so often as I eat a piece of tooth of varying size will fall off. I've always brushed 3times/day and flossed as well. Also, I've never been a candy eater (it upsets my stomach). I know a few other longtime dilantin users and they are also experiencing this. I'm not trying to turn you away from a medicine that could work for your situation, but if an alternative comes along I think I'd try it.

It's not for everyone but I fit into the description of/by Jack Dreyfus almost exactly. It works by correcting excessive/inappropriate electrical activity in the brain and body. None of the other anti-convulsants would have the same effect, I think they have anti-convulsant effects in a different way than Dilantin does. As far as side effects, from everything I've read side effects are rare. I really encourage you to read "A Remarkable Medicine Has Been Overlooked", it's really good.

Na+ channel inhibition
Ca2+ channel inhibitionI am currently on 100mg of Dilantin for bipolar disorder and really it is not working as a mood stabiliser for me at all. Does the book talk about bipolar and the use of dilantin?
Any light you can shed on this would be great.
