Experiences with

Phenobarbital

Maybe it was caused by phenobarbital? he took it for 10 days but stopped already. Poop is bright yellow. He is active. Socially smiling. Are there any similar exp? Thank you so much 🥹

Should add that I have taken phenobarbital for over 40 years and understand it can affect the liver. This is for epilepsy and non negotiable, as nothing else works. I am having another LTF in a month and had been doing dry January. I don't have any liver issue symptoms.

I am a 70 year old female.from the East Midlands. Had childhood migraine, but , wrongly diagnosed with petite mal epilepsy, and prescribed phenobarbitone. Late teens early adult hood, not too bad, started nursing, weaned myself of medication. 2 chronic migraines per month. Analgesics useless, dark room

Current meds are Phenytoin, phenobarbital, aspirin 75mg famotidine rivaroxaban bisoprolol 1.25mg and 40mg atorvastatin 40mg. The first 2 are for epilepsy I just wondered if anyone here has any idea about what I should do next to improve my QOL

And I got a print out of the time I was hospitalized after second major seizure, it shows 65 mg of phenobarbital twice a day.. that cant be right? Right?

I was prescribed Phenobarbital for seizures, a few months ago. The Script was for 300 mg/night. I take 50 mg/day. This helps a lot, anxiety, maybe preventing future seizures? I dunno. There is an issue with liver function, so im wondering if anyone has come up against these kind of issues?

I still take Phenobarbital for a sleep aid. I am told that i was an uncooperative patient, fighting against treatment, and given, and prescribed Haldol. Through this experience, kind of in depth labs were run, liver enzymes were 230 some, they are supposed to be below 9. Not 90, not 900, just 9.

While most patients with ataxia have a primary neurological disease, it is important to know that metabolic diseases (e.g., hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia), toxins (e.g., lead, organophosphates), and drugs (e.g., Phenobarbital, metronidazole) can cause ataxia.

Seizure recurrences are frequent among HIV patients . Long-term anti-epileptic therapy needs to be considered, even after a single seizure. Phenytoin has been the most widely prescribed anti-epileptic drug for these patients, but a significant number of patients are likely to experience undesirable side-effects

This can imply that even low doses of phenobarbital can potentially diminish the effectiveness of iBrance, but it’s unclear to what degree.

She had seizures in the first week or her life but she was prescribed phenobarbital and the seizures have stopped. Does anybody here know anything about long term effects or treatment options?

Really all I know for sure is I’m allergic to phenobarbital, and anything containing dopamine magnifies this condition 10 fold. I am now working to get back in to see my local primary neurologist.

I rang The helpline today and what a relief it was to speak to someone who actually understood how it is to live with someone who has a brain injury! She suggested I came on her so here I am! My husband is 57 and was knocked down by a car 51 years ago. He was on phenobarbitone for 6 months and then

He's had moments of somewhat lucidity, unable to move fingers or toes yet, opens eyes on command occasionally, pentobarbital induced, then versed, then prpphol, now phenobarbital and clonopin with 5 other non sedating seizure meds, reacts to pain (sometimes) stares into space.

At present were not sure of severity of it but at present it is being controlled with phenobarbital and occasional phototherapy. Would love to hear from other families dealing with similar. Thank you.
