User Reviews for phenobarbital oral

I was first put on pheno when i was 9yrs old when i was first diagnoised with epilepsy, it slowed my learning prossess down. now after 20 yrs back on it. however, it is being used as a "piggy back" for keppra. and so far i haven't had any problems.

My golden also started having seizures this past summer. She is taking phenobarbital and has not had a seizure for 6 weeks. The only side effect is that it has intensified her flakey skin.

my golden retriever has had several seizures. the vet put her on this and she has only been on it for a week. yes the seizures have stopped, however, she now has terrible itching all over her body esp in ears and has uncontrollable diarherra.

I used this medication for more than 28 years and now have osteoporosis. This is one of the side effects.

I've been using this medication for about 1 month for my insomnia. It's worked very well for me and some nights I'd sleep for 12 hours at a time.

I began having seizures when I was three (I am now 31) and tried other medications with adverse side effects. I then tried phenobarbital and have been seizure free since. I also have never experienced any of the known side effects. Phenobarital has done wonders to control my grand mal seizures.

My newborn daughter had seizures caused by a tiny blood vessel in her brain that had not fully developed. The doctor put her on Phenobarbital and she has not had a seizure since then.

I take phene for panic attacks anlong with klonapin and cymbalta trazadone amytriptline it really has helped my panic attacks I have been on phene for 2 months and klonapin for 10 years

my son wass on pheno for almost two years, it,s caused him development delays and while he was on it and for about a month after i had a very mean mad two year old. to make matters worse he still had seizures while on it. he's now on keppra which is much better!!!!!!

After using this med for over 40 years,my only quibble is that it does make you sleepy! Be that as it may,it works...and you do learn to adapt!

I have been on Pheno since 1967 along with Dilantin and have very good seizure control.

My cat was having frequent, severe seizures but on this medication has been seizure free for 2 years!

i have been on phenobarbital since 1985, when i had my first seizure, and through a combination of that drug and dilantin, i have not had a seisure. though i wonder why it is that 64.8mg of phenobarbital is considered the same dosage amount as 60mg. just looking at the numbers, it seems to me that 64.8mg is a higher dose that 60mg. i only mention this because i seem to get more drossy the day i began taking the tablets with the medicine bottle labeled 64.8mg.

It's taken a while to get my levels staying in the therapeutic range, but once I did--ZAP!! I am now almost seizure-free...after 31 years.

I was put on this medication in 1991 after having partial and then a grand mal seizure. At first it worked pretty good but then the seizures returned.I was put on 3 different other drugs(tergtol,topramx & Limictal ?sp. but they only made seizures worse. Am back on Pheno and usually have seizures every 1-2 wks.They generally are for one day only.
