Comment:
I have been taking Dilantin Ex for over 17 years now, with no problems. But, due to a loss in drug coverage, I am now having to switch to generic, and my pharmacy only carries TARO brand... which does not look familiar to me... Has this specific brand been rated/reviewed before? I need help...

Comment:
I have taken Dilantin or its generic for over 35 years now. I have had 10 seizures total and only when I have mistaken, tried to change medication (by doctor suggestion), or had one too many drinks!!! I take 350 MG daily with virtually no side effects-no gum problems-however, I am 59 and sometimes have memory problems, but that could be due to my age!!!!
