A member asked:
I seem to be tired a lot! could it be my dilantin level ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: Everyone responds differently to dilantin. Some get tired, even on smaller doses at lower levels. The head-to-head studies showed that many of the new seizure meds cause less sedation. Discuss with your neurologist.
