I am going to Welcome you again here Mooselips.
My daughter Rebecca is 16 and has been having seizures for 1.5 yrs. I have found comfort here at CWE as well as a bunch load of new information. It is good to have this knowledge to make intelligent decisions. I don't like to be at a loss for words around doctors.

Thanks for the warm welcome.
This morning I was wondering something..does dilantin cause big mood shifts? We seem to have a communication problem for the last few weeks here...
or just plain irritable-ness.
Brain transplant? Gosh, I do believe I heard they were doing a 2 for 1 special at the Cleveland Clinic....maybe we could sign up...I could use one too!

Not that I'm aware of. Keppra is most famous for that side effect.

Bernard:
But unfortunately, Moose is right,
Dilantin / Phenytoin can cause some
moodiness in some people and usually
is a sign of too high levels or overdose
or in toxic range, it's rare - but can
happen.
I had this slight problematic issue when
I was on Dilantin on 900 mg (300mg x 3)
a day for my height, size and weight. I
was way over the toxic range. I had to
be cut back a little bit; I usually run on
400mg / 500 mg alternate, but there
were times I would be 600 mg. BUT 900
mg daily? GEESH!
=========================
And MOOSE? About the 2 for 1 special?
Are they NEW or USED?
:brain: :brain:
:lol:

Well, I don't think we're dealing with toxicity at this time anyway, he's is on a good dosage for his height/weight. 300 tid.
I think it's a combination of KNOWING you have a "scary" disease, AND the isolation, AND giving up ALOT of independence, AND having to rely on others. It sucks for him, ya know? (I am sure you all know!)
Oh the brains!
I found a picture..let me know if you're still interested.
