[epilepsy] Re: phenobarbital?

 

Steve,

There's a website called WebMD that confirms it (website address posted
below)
and here's a few sentences I copied from it and pasted in quotation marks.

"People with epilepsy are three times more likely to commit suicide than the
general population, and women with the disease have a greater suicide risk
than men."

"When people with a history of psychiatric illness were excluded from the
analysis and researchers adjusted for other risk factors associated with
suicide, epilepsy patients were still twice as likely to commit suicide as
people without epilepsy."
