Have Any Of You Been On Phenobarbital Long Term For Your Treatment And Developed A Blood Disorder And/or Bad GI Issues?
If so, did you transfer to a different medication that helped and how long did it take you to transition from the phenobarbital to the other medication.
I have slightly off blood values, and wonder if it is the Lamotrigine. Or XCopri.
I was on Phenobarbital for a long time , when I was a young. I was on it from the age of 2 - 19yrs of age. My pediatrician n neurologist tried taking me off it it around the age of 15 . My seizures worsened and he put me back on the Medication.
I never developed any blood disorders.
I have been on Pheno 3 times in my life. When I was a toddler, my mother said I was mean and irritable. I even bit people. I took it again in the 6th grade, but it's like I didn't know I was in the world at school. I also remember being mean to my cat and my dog. It just made me a mean person. And I tried it as an adult one more time, but I started not liking my self as a mother of a small child and I had to get off. That was it. It makes me mean.
I’ve been on pheno for 7 years. I just started having GI issues but I thought it was from Epidiolex. No blood disorders. Have you had both?
