Hello http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif
I've been diagnosed and taking dilantin (phenytoin in the UK http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wink.gif ) for 3 years and been very stable generally (no GMs with a few dejavu episodes).
My husband and I are planning to start a family next year so obviously I need to think about changing my medication.
My neuro has suggested Lamotrigine would be a good alternative to be pased over a period of 6 weeks - I would really appreciate your thoughts and experiences on this.
He also suggested Gabapentin, Levetiracetam and possibly Topiramate - does anyone have any opinions or thoughts?
Thank you for your time http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif
