Hi COurt, I am allergic to Dilantin. In the social grtoups we have Epilepsy and Mental Illness. I am in there a lot of times.
Do you also have schizophrenia? It is not uncommon to have both. You need to be diagnosed.They have 2 good medications for it. Seroquel and Risperdal. That could really help you to lead a normal life.
I have not, yet, but I am going to talk to my neurologist about it. I am on too many medications to keep my epilepsy under control.
I am on 5 medications: Keppra, Lamictal, Neurontin, mysoline and clonozapam. I am also a diabetic which does not help matters.
