hi there i am om dilantin 300 mg and tegretol 800 mg daily. the dr is watching my numbers and so far I am in the range they say is ok. Mine is 9, range is 9-12. My body is starting to do weird things like...my left forearm is getting weak, my left eye is starting twicht, my hair is thinning really bad. I feel that I have to much meds in my body. Nothing else is going on health wise but I just feel I am getting to much meds. Could any of these indicators being pointing to the same conclusion? Thank you

Hi,

It is not related to Dilantin.
If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
Detailed evaluation is required to find out the exact cause.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
