A member asked:
If i have been seizure free on 2.3 level of dilantin for 15 years what are the odds of me having another seizure had 2 in sleep when i was 16?

Very low: The Dilantin level is almost homeopathic, next to nothing. Sounds like you can safely stop this low dose dilantin. But check with your doc to be safe.

Pretty Slim: If you have been completely seizure free this long , it would be very unusual to begin to have seizure activity now without some trigger.Discuss a tapered withdrawal from themes with your doctor.
