Extremely low doses of phenytoin (Dilantin) may enhance GABA neurotransmission, thereby correcting the imbalance between the GABAergic and glutaminergic systems.
In this patent application, Australian physician Philip Bird discusses the use of ultra-low-dose phenytoin to treat dementia, reading disorder, ADHD, acquired brain injury, visual fatigue, autism, PTSD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, chronic pain, tinnitus.

If you scroll to the bottom, Bird lists numerous examples (case reports). For most of them, the ideal dose of phenytoin appears to be 2-3 mg. Some patients responded better to a dose of 1 mg. One patient responded best to 0.5 mg. One patient responded best to 0.1 mg.
