> > I asked about this a couple of months ago but cannot seem to find my message anywhere here..have triple checked!! Has anyone heard of using Dilantin to treat depression and/or anxiety? I read an amzing book on this by Jack Dreyfus (founder of the Dreyfus Fund) recently, and am interested if anyone out there has heard of this or tried it?? Have been the Nardil, Paxil route..am getting ready to try Effexor..but this book keeps nagging at me..am very curious.
> i tried it last week after reading the same book, unfortunately it did not help but you can try it and if jack is right then if its going to help it will after an hour, i tried 100mg three times and at that dosage got no side effects but no benefits
> either, so its a reasonably safe try at the low doses
> hope it helps

To Glenn, Sean and Dr. Bob...Thanks for your replies..doc not willing to let me try dilantin at present but I will give her Dreyfus book..and persist!
