had dizziness for 3 days


I have been experienceing dizziness for the last 3 days and it feels that it is getting worse each day.

The only thing that has been added to my daily medications is the calicum and B6, B12 and folic acid that has been compounded for me.

I cann't find on the internet if any of these increase dilantin levels. I'm saying this because it feels like my dilantin level is too high.

...I do have a call in to my neurologist. I'm panicking because my husband is having surgery in 2 days, and I have to get home from surgery.

if you're on generic phenytoin, sometimes it seems my Rx refills really screw with my system
I've been having several bad days myself
maybe it's a bad batch
but that seems highly unlikely
I pray things work out.

stress is really overwhelming when it hits during a recovery period, during certain spans of time, times when I feel the world is already against me and suddenly not just the world but consciousness and reality itself is

all day yesterday I kept telling myself to look where I'm placing my next step, so to speak, and to not even think about tomorrow
to focus on what I can have certainty in
it might help you too during times when things seem overwhelming - they never are, just what we demand of ourselves is

Thanks for you reply.

I am brand name dilantin, I couldn't take the generic.

I hope you get to feeling better also.

I get so mad at myself for getting panicking over such things.

I have been so busy trying to get several dishes cooked ahead of time before my husband surgery and to get the house clean, so that I don't make noises while he is recovering.

Just put my chicken dressing in the freezer for Christmas day.

it sounds alot like a toxic level, I found myself in the hospital after days of horrible dizziness, among not being able to walk, sometimes sick to stomach, another thing I think you said something about vitamin B12, I can't remember exactly what it said just that it messes with the levels, might want to look in to that
