My dilantin level has been upped to 400 mg per nite. Lately I've been getting VERY drowsy and tip over easily. Went to my local dr. and he took dilantin level - it was 34! My neurologist is gone until next Tues. Any suggestions on what I do to bring the level down a little w/o having seizures??? BJC
