Long Term Dilantin use

Sat, 11/11/2006 - 16:11
I have been reading some threads that make mention of damage done with long term use of Dilantin. I have taken it for about 17 years and am very concerned about this. I am looking for any information because i meet with a 2nd opinion neurologist this next week and want to be fully informed. My previous neurologist has just dismissed my concerns over issues i am having with my cognitive abilities. I have been taking medication for Bipolar condition too and no doctor ever told me they could be related?! thank you to anyone who can help Eleanor
