No matter how much dilantin i take the level never goes past 3.8 i had one seizure 14 years ago does this mean i don't need it or my body is rejecting?

Get off it: Dilantin should be relegated to history. It is an old drug of high toxicity and major problems with use. Talk to your doctor about getting off or at least changing to a newer and safer seizure medication.

Seizure Control: Your Dilantin level will vary by how much you take and how rapidly your body gets rid of it. A neurologist can help you decide if you still need to continue dilantin. There are some tests a neurologist will want to do!
