Hi,
Thank you so much for that insight.
I will speak to someone about taking my dosage (300mg) at one time.
NOW, that would solve my problem as far as forgetting a dose. I never
forget the first pill.
It is pretty traumatic as I have seen over the years nine specialists(
along w/eeg's and tests),
and I have yet to know what caused me to have epilepsy.
Could you offer me any advice nutrition wise.
All I have been told was some of the triggers plus what NOT to have and
do. But to actually help..as far as.. I really do not know about
antioxidents, minerals and such.
Again, thank you much.
Sincerely,
Jodie

Julie has a couple of posts still up on my reader. If you have it on
your's she has the Idaho Ep. Website address at end of them -- you should
bookmark the entrance. There are also 2 First Aid for Seizures Charts that
could be added to bookmarks --> a conventional one with info. for each of
the main szr. types, the second one is for First Aid in Water if you swim.
The Ep. Foundation of America has a medications glossary within
http://efa.org . The General information is for reference, you probably
shouldn't tinker with dose rates etc. without talking with the Dr. who
prescribes the pills. SOME of the pills have other things that can mess up
their working properly -- Alcohol, Upset Stomach Remedies, and some Cold
Remedies (also contain alcohol or other chemicals). I usual show any of
those to the Pharmacy who fills my prescription at least to make sure
there's nothing in the Scripts from the Pill Manufacturer to watch for.
Also the Druggist might have a Daily Pill case like I use. Keep a log
for AM, Afternoon and Evening dose, and write the Time you take each one.
Likely the first would be in Morning with Breakfast, Second sometime in
afternoon? either late after lunch or ahead of dinner? and the 3rd ahead of
bedtime with food, milk or juice.
I don't know if there's any other stuff to watch wrt. Dilantin
(Phenytoin), but I posted a few days ago about advisory I found for
Tegretol (My current pill) that said to avoid e.g. Grapefruit juice as well
as alcohol. I was only able to use Dilantin for less than 6 months for
Complex Partial Seizures, then we had to move to Tegretol as it gave me
erratic seizures control -- working fine for 6 weeks then a bunch of
seizures, then fine again for 4-6 weeks, off again. THAT became
disruptive as I couldn't trust that Anytime could be the time or day I'd
have a seizure while out and I'd wake up in Emerg. again since another
Shopping Centre didn't have a CPR centre or trained security staff.
What did warfarin in the Subject have to do with Dilantin? Isn't the
latter rat poison? G./

I see now that Warfarin was from Barb's initial post and was a medication
she described on her first post as one she was using or had used. Must have
mixed the name up with something else. Ignore last sentence of post I just
put up. G./
