Re: [epilepsy] hi stephenpales,i do have some info



shotwho,

I am glad that you have a Dr. who checks your blood. I have been
on Dilantin and Phenabarb for over 20 years and I have my blood
checked yearly and if I have a sz I have it checked again. It has been
over 2 years since I have had a sz and 4 years before that. Are you on
the generic or the brand name? That makes a difference to most of us.
The brand name is stronger as far as I am concerned and my dr. insists
on it.
