In reply to HELP! MY SON IS USING PHENYTOIN FOR OTHER PUPOSES, posted by xanthophill on February 24, 2004, at 0:10:00
Hi
I am bipolar and I was prescribed Dilantin as a mood stabiliser. I took it for about 2 months and it didn't help so I switched to something else. I told my dentist I was taking it and he said to make sure I take extra care of my gums.
Anyhow, I am telling you this because sometimes people are prescribed it as a mood stabiliser.
