I've been on Phenytoin 125mg/5ml Oral Suspension for about two months now to control my seizures, and I've been experiencing some side effects that are really bothering me. I've had dizziness, trouble sleeping, and what I think might be numbness in my fingers. I'm not sure if these are normal or if I should be concerned. Anyone else deal with these issues or have any advice?

I've been prescribed Phenytoin Sod 300mg ER Capsules for my epilepsy and I'm wondering if anyone else has experience with this medication. I'm curious about how others manage the side effects and the overall effectiveness of the drug. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I started taking Phenytoin 50mg Chew Tablets a few weeks ago to control my seizures, and while it's been effective, I've been experiencing some side effects that I'm not sure how to handle. I've been having dizziness, and I'm worried about the more serious side effects like skin reactions or heart problems. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm also curious about how common these side effects are and if there are any long-term effects to worry about. I've read the leaflet, but real-life experiences can be very different from what's written there. What are your thoughts on this?
