Avatar f tn it can also cause nystagmus, signs of cerebellar problems like ataxia. Apart from these it can also cause swollen gums and lips and easy bruising and bleeding. Hope this helps!
Avatar n tn I took 2 old, and 1 new for about a month, then 2 new and 1 old, and am now on 3 new dilantin 100mg. every day. I have been on this for about 2 weeks, and I have not had any problem at all. I do feel kinda nervous about it, though, and never leave home without my medical card in my wallet. (something I never even had to think about with the old dilantin). How about you? Are you on the new capsules? If so, how are you doing?
1808278 tn?1338484942 One year into Dilantin and I have to have four front teeth pulled. Previously healthy. Gums are in good order as I brush them 5x daily.
Avatar f tn Definitely make an appt with your neuro! You don't mention how long it's been since you last saw the neuro. I was on Dilantin for 32 yrs.I actually had not seen a neuro for some yrs;my MD prescribed it along with other meds.But then when I started seeing a neuro for a different issue,he noticed the length of time I'd been on Dilantin.He talked to me about changing meds.He let me know it wouldn't be easy.

Avatar n tn I have been having problems with a wisdom tooth for about a year. It will pop through, and then go back down. I have always been able to handle the pain, but this time it's much worse. My face and neck are swollen, and all around the tooth my gums feel like they're filled with fluid.I also have a bit of pain in my ear. Is this typical of a tooth coming in, or should I see a dentist?
501086 tn?1210123831 Was just interested if anyone has had to transition from Dilantin to Lamictal and if they have had any side affects
Avatar n tn I am going to request another bood test like you said to see if was the ibuprofen. Dilantin I rake for seizures and may be time I wean off of it and rely on Lamictal. Thanks for your reply.
Avatar f tn i just started taking dilantin and im 4 weeks late for my peiod and not pregnant
Avatar m tn Hi everyone, I'm new to this community. My neurologist just informed me that Osteoporosis and shrinkage of the Cerebellum are very serious side effects for long term users of Dilantin. Does anyone know more about this? I've been taking 500mg of Dilantin for over 30 years since I was a teenager, and now I'm terribly worried. Not one of the neurologists had mentioned anything about this over the years, and now at 46, I've learned that I may have severe osteoporosis.
Avatar m tn The only side effects that I have are gum irritation and bleeding gums and minor cracked glans penis. Here is my question: I had a casual encounter with another man of unknown HIV status. There were only kissing, mutual masturbation and oral sex (I was the recipient). My gums were not bleeding at the moment we were kissing, but an hour later, when I got home and flossed my teeth, they bled. Could I have been exposed to HIV if my partner was HIV+?
Avatar f tn i started taking dilantin and im late for my period almost 4 weeks.
Avatar f tn Yeah it is normal. I have had bleeding gums all the way through my pregnancy and only 9 days to go. You need to visit your dentist and ask for corsodyl daily toothpaste and get free miniature toothpastes or you can also buy this from any supermarket or chemist. This toothpaste is protection for healthy gums and really helps during pregnancy. Hope this helps.
Avatar n tn I have a TSH of 0.24 and T4 of 1.04. I have been on Dilantin for 30 years. I have been on Thyroid replacement therapy for 18 years with monthly injection of B12. I have had extreme fatigue and chest pains. Seeing neurologist for medicine change and have be referred to endocrinologist. How concerned should I be? What tests should be given? Is this my pituitary gland?
Avatar n tn m only 20 and take care of my teeth, but a few days ago my gums spontaneously started bleeding and being sore, and part of my gum seems to have receded a little bit. The only difference is my stomach pain only started one and a half-two days ago, but its pretty sore!
Avatar f tn Dear doctor, I red some answers about this subject, but I am afraid that my situation is a bit different because it was nothing to do with bleeding gums, it was an actually bleeding from a infected tooth. Thank you if you can help. The other day some dental restorative material came out from a tooth and I started to feel some pain. Two days after I was deep french kissing with a person that I don't know very well and I stopped kissing because I started to taste blood coming from that tooth.
2015036 tn?1332997788 My doctor wanted me to start with the Dilantin first, but then I read that bone-thinning and excess facial hair can be the some of the side effects. (So, I'm going with Tegretol.) I had no idea about the risk of leukemia! Are you okay?
889592 tn?1262092244 I am on tx 6 wks now. Mine are the same way but always have had bleeding gums and sensitive teeth. What works best for me is sensidine toothpaste for sensitive teeth.
Avatar m tn s lunch hour he was telling me about an exposure he had back in december during new years eve he said he practiced cunnilingus to a female in new year party with unknown HIV status as far i as know based on some personal research i have made cunnilingus is no risk or zero risk for HIV however he told me that offently his gums are swollen, they sometimes bleed due to gingivitis and exactly that day he said that he bleed when he burshed his teeth 4 hours before the exposure honestly i
Avatar m tn I gave oral sex to someone of unknown status. I do have bleeding gums when I brush sometimes. So could that had exposed me to HIV? My wife has a bad headache, feeling nausea, and dizzy. This started after we had sex. Can someone please tell me if I have put my wife in harm's way...
800427 tn?1324945719 and to be honest within a week the bleeding had calmed down and after about 10 days they stopped bleeding altogther.
