> Yes, after reading an article and then buying and reading "A Remarkable Medicine Has Been Overlooked" by Jack Dreyfus I have just ordered some Dilantin. It's not for everyone but I fit into the description of/by Jack Dreyfus almost exactly. It works by correcting excessive/inappropriate electrical activity in the brain and body. None of the other anti-convulsants would have the same effect, I think they have anti-convulsant effects in a different way than Dilantin does. As far as side effects, from everything I've read side effects are rare. I really encourage you to read "A Remarkable Medicine Has Been Overlooked", it's really good.

XHow did this work out for you?
I too noted that my situation was very similar (in general terms not exact specifics) to that expressed by Mr Dreyfus. Also, I have found that Dilantin lowers cortisol levels very noticeably. I am limited to medications right now as I am gonig to NIH hospital for an adrenal gland tumor problem, but want to give Dilantin a try when I get back.
I noted that Mr. Dreyfus started with a protocol of 100 mg in the morning and then another 100 mg in the evening as his initial protocol. It then seemed that he reduced that to 100 mg in AM and 50 mg in PM after a period of time. There also appears to be information that one can eventually (depending on their full state of disorder) get to the point where they only take it very occasionally on an "as needed basis".
Also thought that you might be interested in Mr Dreyfus's web site... yes, he is still alive and well, having turned 92 this year....

http://www.remarkablemedicine.com/Clinical/basicmechanisms/summary.htmlAfter reading this, I'd go back to the start page for the book and read the whole thing (it's relatively short overall). And then I'd go to the main web page and spend my time hitting every link to every side link that you can find...
http://www.remarkablemedicine.com/
That's because there's a ton of side information that isn't in the book but is very important.
