I've been trying to find an answer to this for several days and can't seem to get a real answer anywhere, so I'm hoping someone here has experience with this or knows someone who does and can give me an answer...
I'm having a LOT of problems with the side effects from the phenytoin. I looked the medicine up online and the side effects are mostly listed as "serious", such as loss of balance, and dizziness, although I also have blurred vision and EXTREME fatigue. (I have slept for DAYS at a time.) I also can't type anywhere NEAR as easily as I once did and frequently misspell words or even forget words entirely. Not too long ago I stood in my kitchen for nearly an hour struggling to remember what the big silver box was and how in the world it was used. It was the microwave, which I use every day.
So what I need to know is, when they say "serious" how serious is it? Am I risking serious long-lasting health problems (which I really can't afford added to these seizures) or do they just mean that these are seriously irritating? What should I do? I can't get to my doctor for weeks still.
