I am also victim of EPTOIN 300 MG per Day. This medicine is given for brain / nerve disorder which cannot be identified. I would say if it is not broken don't try to fix it. So don't stop taking this medicine ever as this has Phenytoin Sodium and this salt is harmless but just control's brain activities. If you want to leave this medicine then it should be under Dr. supervision without him NO cause this salt may cause some other permanent problem if left in one go.

my dad age 52 years, suffered a fitt attack 5 years ago. doctor prescribed the intake of eptoin 100 mg 3 times a day for 3 years. we continued the medicine for 3 years as prescribed and had the ct scan done which showed everything normal. then also doctor continued with the medicine with the decreased dosage. we continued the medicine for an increased 2 years and after that we stopped the medicines. 5 days ago he again suffered a similar fit. now doctors have again prescribed the same dosage for another 3 years. my question is that why has it occurred again and what is the solution to such a problem? the report 5 yrs ago showed Oval calcified lesion measuring 0.5 x 0.4 cm seen in the right parietal regions (parafalcine). no edema was seen.
