This drug could be of great benefit for many people who don't get a desired effect from using conventional drugs.. it's an anti-seizure medication and it supposedly cured the depressive symptoms of many people who have relentlessly looked for remedies.. apparently because of the cheap price, it has not been approved for depression, for obvious reasons (, it would hurt the mainstream drug companies )

I wonder if he was suffering a form of bipolar depression? I saw a medline abstract a while back that mentions Dilantin's possible efficacy as an *antimanic*. My Mom was on Dilantin and phenobarbitol in the '50s and '60's for generalized (tonic-clonic) nocturnal seizures. Then she stopped taking it regularly later when her seizures stopped but she would get auras occasionally during the day (often photic stimulated), accompanied by panic and muscle stiffness in her neck and back and she would take one and she said it would help. It would scare her, because the daytime auras usually predicted a nighttime seizure.

My Pdoc is an oldie (in his 60's). He prescribed Dilantin as a mood stabiliser for me. It didn't do anything so I switched to Trileptal. One concern with Dilantin is that it will wreck your gums. In fact my dentist said that if possible, I should change my medication. Of course if it had helped me I would have taken the chance with my teeth.
