Avatar n tn She is on Dilantin for seizures and is not doing well. Very tired all the time. Her dilantin level came back at 21 so the doctor just lowered her dose. I'm just wondering if she should be taking the Free T3 test instead. My parents doctor is an older gentlemen and he never checked their thyroid levels until I asked him too. Thank you for any response.
Avatar m tn I am kind of disappointed for the astigmatism correction. It should be within cyl 0.5. I went to 2nd ophthalmologist and he used IOL master to measure the Cornea Astigmatism of my left eye and the result is cyl -1.88 D at 163 degree. If plot the data from IOL master into the acrysoft toric calculator, program would suggest IOL model T4 which has less power of correction than T5. I wonder if my left eye got over corrected.
Avatar m tn but ive looked up hypercalcemia and I found a correction formula from the Cleveland Clinic and it takes into account your albumin levels and your calcium level and then spits out a more accurate number for your blood calcium level.

Avatar f tn can 20 years on dilantin after one seizure, then a stroke with no speech, cause terrible sideeffects?
Avatar n tn Is anybody here taking the new Dilantin? Are you having any problems with it?
Avatar n tn 3 and they gave him a loading dose of 500mg. PO of dilantin, and 500mg. IV Dilantin. He is very regimented taking his Dilantin and does not miss doses. And told him to take 400mgs. today. I have a call in to our family Dr. and waiting for a return. We were being seen by a Neurologist, but she abruptly cancelled my husbands January appt. and said she was leaving town for a month, and did not refer us to any other Dr. so we saw the family Dr. who is prescribing.
Avatar n tn My husband was recently diagosed with glioblastoma multiforme brain cancer. The neurosurgeon put him on Dilantin "for life." He isn't even going to check blood levels. My husband has not had any seizures. Does this seem appropriate?

1924139 tn?1322798705 From my experience no but people do grow out of it if they are lucky enough our healed from it. I was on Dilantin, Phenobarbital and Lamictal three years ago. My Dr took me off of Dilantin and no more problems. I was on Dilantin over twenty years and i was scared. Let me know what happens because depending on your dosage you would be off of it or almost by now. I wish you the best.
Avatar m tn I had a test done showing my albumin levels are a little low than normal. Can this be dangerous?? If so in what ways??
542332 tn?1214592336 My surgeon has my switching from Gabapentin to Dilantin, by early this week I should be solely on 400 to 500 MG of dilantin per day however it is doubtful if the meds will fully control the pain so then my only real option is an injection which may cause permanent facial numbness. I would like to know if anyone else has had to deal with recurrent trigeminal neuralgia and if so what was your outcome?
Avatar f tn i just started taking dilantin and im 4 weeks late for my peiod and not pregnant
Avatar f tn I am on 500mg Dilantin daily as a seizure maintenance drug which works fine. I'm also on 100mg topomax daily as a migraine maintenance drug. I've run out of my Dilantin and want to know how many topomax would be the equivalent temporary substitution for Dilantin?
Avatar f tn Does anyone know what can cause Dilantin levels to be too low after taking correct dosage? My levels have been around 3.2 and I take the correct dosage my doctor prescribed of 400 MG a day. 200 in the morning and 200 at night. My doctor thinks I am not taking my Dilantin and I cannot convince him otherwise!!! I don't know what to do or where to find any information about it. Would appreciate any information, please.

Avatar f tn I've been taking Dilantin for sleep seizures for 43 years. No problems before, but recently I'm having trouble making any decisions and I'm getting scatter-brained. What are the long-term effects of Dilantin?
327385 tn?1378360731 i had a pituitary tumor and was told dilantin will mess with labs. im hoping to get off dilantin completly in a couple months.
Avatar m tn 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.
1808278 tn?1338484942 I watched South Pacific last night and just could not stop crying. These years of taking Dilantin and Vimpat have seriously impacted my marriage, and i just cannot get hub to speak to me in the voice I am accustomed to hearing.He is sooooo impatient! So demanding! So judgmental! We married when I was already a head injured person: if I divorce, I will get half of what we/he has, but that is not the deal I signed on for. I love him and am also very dependent on him.
