How Long After Lowering The Dose Of Dilantin Will Signs Of Imbalance Disappear?
Dilantin level 20.2 seeing signs of toxicity happened before in 2007. We lowered dose from 500 mg to 400 mg but wondering if that is enough, as there are still signs of unbalance and some confusion. I guess I need to know how long does it take for level to go lower?

Hi
The level should fall within a week with the lower dosage but the blood level should be checked a second time
