Global Patient Feedback for Phenobarbital (Phenobarbital)

I have had epilepsy since the early 70's and it has been wonderfully controlled by phenobarbital and dilantin. Tried other drugs but had grand mals. This combo may be old fashioned but it works!

I started having gran mal seizures in 1970 at the age of 12...had 33 in about 24 months. Took Dilantin, but had a reaction. After about 30 medicine combinations, was controlled on Phenobarbital alone. Have been controlled since 1972. Take three 64mg tabs at bedtime. Wonder drug, as far as I'm concerned.
