Re: [epilepsy] Phenobarbital

Millie,

My neurologist does have me on Keppra, Lamictal, and the new study drug that has been going on for about 5 years now. Being on those he said I could start lowering Phenobarbital a little at a time until I can get completely off. Dropping off of it has not increased my seizures, so maybe it will work.
