For Epilepsy "Excellent medicine for me. I would not have been able to have been a teacher and business owner without its help. In 52 years, I have had approximately 7 seizures because of this medicine. It will be off the market in a month, and I hope the company that makes it reconsiders its decision, the other options for me are not that great."

For Epilepsy "I have been seizure-free on this medicine for 30 years. My seizures were grand mal, and though I still have seizure activity in my brain, Mebaral controlled it with little to no side effects. I can't believe they took it off the market. I am a very successful actor and have had a career and life of extreme sports and adventures that would not have been possible were it not for this medicine. Now I am transitioning to phenobarbital. It's not the same, and there is a distinctly different set of side effects, including nausea, hangover effect, and lack of coordination."

For Epilepsy "I've been on this for over 30 years and had maybe 10 seizures over that span. I am annoyed that they took something that worked off the market. When I was 12, I was put on phenobarbital and my body couldn't handle it, so the doc put me on Mebaral, and I wasn't a walking zombie and actually functioned. Now that they discontinued Mebaral, I have taken 3 other medicines in one year, and you've guessed it, I'm back on phenobarb. I plead with the makers to bring this back, PLEASE!"
