Trying to switch off Dilantin
Tue, 07/28/2015 - 19:09Taking meds for generalized Epilepsy
I have been taking Dilantan since I was 13 years old, now doctor trying to get me onto a new seizure control drug. My first try was with Tokendi XR, at first it seem to be fine with numming in the head. When I encountered some stress at work, the chemicals in my body caused a anxiety attack. I couldn't focus on work and I was shaking, scared the crap out of me. So the doctor trying to get me on something else, but they all seem to have issues with anxiety.
So I'm looking for any feed back on meds that working for people.
Some suggestions that Doctor making.
