Is It Safe To Take Mushrooms While On Dilantin?

I take 400mg of dilantin daily. For about 3 months. I have had epilepsy for around 10 years. Im interested in taking some magic mushrooms but I want to know if its safe while on dilantin. I have eaten mushrooms in the past 10 years and had no problem, but I was not on any anti convulsant at that time.

Hi & Welcome to HCM.
As such there's no documented harmful interactions between the two, it is better to avoid consuming mushrooms as long you take Dilantin (Phenytoin) for the effective control of epilepsy.
Hope this will help you.
