Oh wow sorry to hear that. My son gas Autism cause I was on Dilantin when I found out I was pregnant. It causes Autism to little kids an unborn babys. I also read it can cause tumors an heart problems.

Dilantin is not a good medication at all. It causes to many bad side affects. I was taken off of it.

I've been taking Topomax since the brand came onto market. It was discovered I do very well with the brand Topomax as it manages my seizure flow. The insurance company automatically switched me to Topirimate, the generic brand, when it came onto the market then the seizures began. I needed to have a letter written stating I could not take the generic brand as the brand worked better for my seizure activity. Once that was done, the insurance agreed to work with the epileptologist and give a reasonable pricing for the refills.

Hi Gary Smith heare the best meds. that i ever used was Dilantian 100 m gs 3 X a day and phenabarbitol 97.8 mgs 2 X aday and seizure free. Every one have a good one.

I've been on Topamax about 15 years. The only side effect I got from it was I stopped sweating. I works good I take it with onfi and clonazepam. I have hard to control seizures but this combo really works well for me. I've tried every medication out there almost so you have to remember what works for one doesn't for another. Same with side effects Lamictal was ok at a low dose but at the dose I needed I had tremors so bad I couldn't get a spoon to my mouth with anything in it. Good luck finding the ones that work
