This medication has caused my sugar to stay high , and it has caused my bones to hurt all over my body, the only reason I have to take it is because I have diabetic seizures .

Also I find that I randomly "tip" when walking and drop/knock things over, such as a glass of milk, etc. Kind of like parts of me are coming apart. Originally I had a ton of bone pain in the long bones, but my doctor switched me from phenytoin to brand name Dilantin and it made a world of difference.
