Default Side Effects of Phenytoin
I was on Phenytoin for Epilepsy for 19 years, my neurologist says that the drug caused cellular deterioration in my cerebellum. This causes balance, coordination, speech, and motor function issues. I was told that this deterioration is permanent and cannot be fixed. Has anyone encountered this? Any help is appreciated, living with this is extremely difficult.
