Millie,
I haven't been on Dilantin in years, but I seen on tv today where one of
those law office were advertising about court cases involving Dilantin. They
were saying that Dilantin could cause Steven Johnson Syndrome or something
like that. I haven't been on Dilantin since I was in school, but it done
nothing for my seizures. I am glad it works for you. Take care.
