 RB>  I am on Dilantin,Phenobarbital, and Tegretol. 

I used to take both Dilantin and Phenobarbital and I now take just
Tegretol.  Originally, I took Dilantin and Phenobarbital, but she
had to take me off the Dilantin because of side effects.  I don't
remember why she took me off the Phenobarbital, it was so long
ago.  Anyway, after the Dilantin I took Depakene, but after a
while, it didn't seem to be doing any good, so she put me on
Tegretol.  There was one thing that kept me seizure free for a year
and it was something that I took for an entirely different reason,
but I don't want to get in to that here.  I will say this much: I
quit taking this medication because of things I heard that scared
me.  Maybe I'll tell you all about it in net mail.  I'm beginning
to think that something else could be causing the seizures, because
my last EEG looked better than they have in the past.
