Dilantin And Acid Reflux
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

Has anyone taking Dilantin experience major acid reflux?? I have only been on it for a short time but have horrible reflux and the only thing that has changed that I can think of is Dilantin.

Yes it was awful. I stopped taking my morning dose and my Dr. And I played musical meds but came up with dosage that works for me. I take 300 mgs one night then 400 mgs the next. I stopped getting toxic and the reflux went away. Don't try this without you Dr.s okay

My daughter was on it! Terrible side effects, and it seem like the seizures became worse, longer, more violent, and the recovery time was much longer. Now we are on Keppra, zomaside!
8 months no seizures since the surgery! A little bit of this n that.

I have been having bad chest pain or anxiety, or heartburn since I've started taking dilantin. I'm not sure what it is. But I am no longer even able to use my Medical Marijuana because it increases the chest pain. I didn't have this pain or problem until I started Dilantin? Now since I can hardly smoke my PTSD is feeling more intense. I'm not sure what's going on with meπŸ€•
