Hi Everyone,

I have been on Phenytoin for over 25 years now. Is anyone else on this medication, and if so what side effects do you have?

Let's hear your comments!

These react poorly with other meds and send me into a coma.

@Scantz64‍ Am sorry to hear this, but have found Phenytoin is one of the only medications that has controlled my seizures.

What medication are you currently taking to cause such a reaction?
