Re: [epilepsy] Re: switching from brand to generic/Millie

Kay ,

Thanks,

I never thought to take the capsule apart. I didn't know that.

I have put all my meds in a different glass of water to see how
long it takes them to dissolve. That is an interesting experiment.

There is no reason to apologize about talking about generic Dilantin.
I think we all are interested whether the generic of any med works as
good as the brand name.
