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.

Are you taking any other

Are you taking any other epilepsy medication? I had this reaction with Topamax. I was taking a small dosage of it, plus Depakote at the same time. It did not work! But I can't take generic Dilantin; I have to have the brand.  Toxicity is no fun.
