A member asked:
I am taking 60 mg phenobarbital daily after my skull tumor operation in 1995. what precautions should i take for my daily routine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask yourself why: Was it a skull tumor or brain tumor? Why was the drug started in the 1st place? For seizure prevention? Have you ever had a seizure? Do you still need it? If you still need a seizure med, why phenobarbital? That's a bad drug for adults: bad for your bones, not great for your liver either. Go see a neurologist and ask him/her to reassess everything.
