Dilantin (phenytoin): I use 100mg once a day to control anxiety. It works well. People at work have noticed I am much calmer at work.

Dilantin (phenytoin): My doctor prescribed Dilantin for anxiety and depression. It seems to work just about 60 to 70% of the time for both conditions. Other times I can't really tell the difference. I use 1 or 2 - 100 mg Capsule(s) a day or only as needed. I like that it is not habit forming and tolerance is not built up. Side effects need to be looked at, although I don't experience any serious adverse effects. Extra Vitamin B-12 and Folic Acid needs to be taken while taking Dilantin because it may cause a deficiency with these nutrients.
