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 Two meta-analyses (an analytic study combining the results of several clinical trials) done by Sirven, et al (2004) and Tremont-Lukats, et al (2008) showed no benefit to giving anti-epileptic drugs in general, and Dilantin in particular, to patients with brain tumors in order to prevent an initial seizure. Your husband may have an option not to take Dilantin since there's no difference in outcome. You can check out the articles yourself: www.mayoclinicproceedings.
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.

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 f tn Tramadol (Ultram, Ultracet) I copied this from her journal..it looks pretty close to the other conversion charts I have seen..but again..
Avatar f tn all I can say is request a new PO otherwise you could get a dr note for his PO explaining the situation but sadly if his PO is a d***k there isn't much you can do :(
Avatar m tn The hospital noticed her Dilantin levels were low, and put her on an IV of Dilantin. The next day she seem fine. They discharged her. The hospital never really diagnosed her, but her general doctor said it was a stroke based on high cholesterol, even thought no stroke showed in the MRI. She was weak for about a week afterward, but pretty much fully recovered. This past week, she started feeling dizzy again.
Avatar f tn Hello Dear, Stopping Dilantin quickly is not recommended. Although Dilantin is not addicting and is not likely to be abused, stopping it too quickly can cause seizures to worsen. Dilantin Withdrawal Symptoms The most significant Dilantin withdrawal symptom is a seizure. Suddenly stopping Dilantin can increase your risk of seizures These seizures can be especially severe and very difficult to control.

Avatar f tn Local doctors or hospital did not check dilantin levels- thought I had mental problems. Took them 20months after many more drugs to discontinue the dilantin. Then so many symptoms began for 3 years now- lupus, sjogrens etc so on Plaquenil for this year , and seeing connective tissue, dermatologist, renal specialists, nerve conduction, and vascular physician next month- none of these in our city, have to fly away.
Avatar n tn I was on Dilantin for many of my childhood years and it really wrecked my teeth!! Made the gums grow so huge, pushing my teeth so far out of line that some got removed. When I stopped taking Dilantin, my gums dropped down to the proper size, but it left my teeth sticking up, exposing the roots! Too often, doctors don't tell you about the side effects that you'll have to live with! They're only there to find something to control the seizures.
Avatar f tn Ah ganun po...maraming salamat po...but still do i need to consult sa doctor po?
Avatar f tn At my third appointment my neurologist put me on the name brand Dilantin and reduced the dosage to 400 mg. I am finally starting to feel better by degrees. My questions: 1. Could I have become toxic on the generic Dilantin even though I was within range? 2. Some of the information I have looked at on the internet shows ranges as high as 40-50. It was my understanding that a level of 10-20 is preferred. What is correct? 3.

798555 tn?1292787551 How many of you have found Nature Throid's conversion chart to be a little weak in comparison to your optimal working dose of other natural dessicated thyroid meds? Keep in mind, I'm talking about good results, just maybe not as effective per grain compared to others that worked for you. The new armour formulation may not really count here, due to its widely varied results. But old Armour, the recent US generics (now shut down) and ERFA Canadian are comparable.
