I’ve been on phenobarbital for 43 years and it has been effective in controlling my seizures. I am so grateful. About ten years ago, I had to add trileptal as an added protection.

This is very interesting when I take phenabaritol ,dilatin a nd kepra

I knew there was some fuss about the first. Isn't it a barbiturate that's on the abused drugs list it must be

I think it's one of the early medications. I'm sure there have been problems either abuse or misuse. There are much better meds available now

My doctor put me on it when I was first diagnosed 46 years ago with Dilantin. First the Dilantin poisoned my liver, spleen and bone marrow. So that was not pretty. Then the Phenobarbital started working in reverse as my body was rejecting it. Created severe depression. It also killed my short term memory, which, til today, is still shot.
