A member asked:
What happens if i had 2 seizures when i was teen does that mean i'm epileptic on dilantin but levels never went higher than 3.6?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What does it mean?: Any person who has 2 or more unprovoked seizures has epilepsy. It is possible a person may not have seizures for many years, even without treatment. The level of Dilantin that is effective is whatever level is needed to prevent seizures. That being said, a level of 3.6 is below what most would use to prevent seizures. Hope that helps.
