Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / September 2004Any know side effects of Dilantin withdrawal?
Thank you in advance for any information you may have on this subject. Going from 300 mg to zero, dropping 100mg every 6 weeks. I'm experiencing episodes of depression and wondering if the withdrawal has anything to do with it. Not looking for medical advice, just any experiences or references you may have.

I've recently switched from Phenobarbital to Dilantin to go along with the Neurontin. The dosage had been 400 mg, but that was causing balance problems. So just a few days ago, I dropped that 100mg you talk about to go from 400mg to 300mg. I haven't noticed any particular increase in depression as a consequence. Bob Thank you, Bob I should have added, when I began the thread, that my seizures were the result of a brain abscess, and not epilepsy. After 3 years, the EEG's are finally saying I don't need any anti-seizure medication at all, and that's the reason for my withdrawal.
