toxic dilantin level

Mon, 11/03/2008 - 18:57

Hi to everyone,  I had a dilantin level surge up to 60.4, has anyone had a level that just surged this high before? I felt i was insane and no one could tell around me that i was out of this world, felt like i was living a bad dream.  I can not think straight and it's been over a month since this happened.  I take 400mg a night.

I used to be on the 100 mg tablets with the red stripe. I am now taking the Half Red / Half White capsules. They are made by the same manufacturer. They are not any different except how they look. I was just at my Neurologist today and we went over this subject then.
