I just ask You a few questions. My doctor give me Orfiril, Lamitrin
and Frisium 10 (10-0-10). Frisum because I have got petit mal.

I should be on a higher dose of one or the other.  Is it ...

does confusion lasting more than 1 hour associated with seizures  mean

A friend of mine has been taking Dilantin for several years for Temporal
Lobe Grand-Mal Seizures. About a year or two ago, my friend had a
