Your post was interesting. I was on dilantin for 6 weeks following brain surgery as a preventative against seizures. I was elated to come off of it b/c it made me feel extremely tired, sore, out of it etc. I realize all these drugs effect the brain chemistry and many have a multitude of uses but I would say folks should be wary before starting any new ones.

I'll look into the vitamins. I take a daily supplement and try to get extra magnesium and potassium from food

i was on dilantin for 6 years i had an anurisum sorry cant spell the dr told me i would be on it for the rest of my life was 24 now 32 for about 2 years after the bleed i would have spaced out episodes i thought were seurizers thay were getting worse and worse year after year so after the 6 th year i stopped taking dilantin and after about 3 month i started to get better i was never having seurizers it was panic attakcs and for a year life was normal and now after about a year im having anziety with panic once agian . i think the dilantin is what messed me up but like you all say were all different
