Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My wife is currently changing from Dilantin to Lamiscal. Building slowly from 25 mg, 50, 75, 100, 125 and finally to 150 over a period of 30 days. When should she start cutting down on Dilantin. She currently takes 200 mg with an additional 30 mg every other day. How long should this weaning process take.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, once the seizure episode stops then medicine can adjusted on maintenance dose and it can not be stopped, better to have a word with doctor, clinical examination is must to decide this, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
