Phenobarbital
Sat, 07/08/2006 - 12:34MY NERUOLOGISIT ADDED PHENOBARBITAL 60MG EVERY NIGHT BEFORE BED I'M SO SCARE OF THE SIDE EFFECT IT MIGHT GIVE ME. I'M ALREADY TAKING TRILEPTAL 300MG TWICE A DAY AND I DONE VERY WELL ON THIS MEDS. I HAD NO SIDE EFFECT TO THIS MEDS SO I'M AFRAID OF THE OTHER MEDS MAKING ME SICK. IF ANY ONE CAN TELL ME HOW PHENOBARBITAL MAKE YOU FEEL OR THE SIDE EFFECT I WOULD VERY MUCH BE GRATEFUL.

I was on Phenobarb for about 20 years. It worked great. But I could only take Lilly Brand and when they quit making that they took me off of it and I felt like I was having withdrawls. While I was on it I felt NO really noticable side affects, and NO SEIZURES, but getting off of it really sucked. Good Luck, Mary
