toxic dilantin level
Mon, 11/03/2008 - 18:57Hi 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.

The first toxicity problem which the Neurologist initially denied was when I could not walk or my gait was off after brain surgery. The Neurologist at that time felt I needed a spinal tape. He took a look at my back and took me off of the Dilantin and said that explains your gait problems!
Recently 30 years later they tried to convince to try it again and I am still allergic to it. Just be careful!

Where did you get the new dilantin from? Medco?
