Dilantin

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Stanhope, NJ

I took Dilantin for a few years as a child. I'm not sure why my doctor switched me from Dilantin to Tegretol, but I'm assuming it's because I broke through on it. I really liked it, but I suppose what I'm on now is best for controlling my seizures.

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member

Since then, I've been on numerous forms of Tegretol,, Tranxene for a short time, and currently, Leviteracetam(Keppra, in addition to Tegretol). Chelsey, what does VNS stand for?

Lakewood, CO

I think that when I was diagnosed with my condition I was given the right meds, but later after meeting with a new doc out here changed them, I brought up before and told of it, but I personally didn't think I had prob with the meds I was on, she just took me off and put me on the meds I am taking and don't have a prob with either, thankful it worked out that way, my hypothetical question to that would be what if the meds she changed up didn't do what they were supposed to, then I be at square… read more

New Jersey, NJ

Hi,

I recently wanted to add CBD oil to my regime instead of increasing my Toprimate.
