I really dont know if im having Frontal Lobe Siezures, or severe panic attacks, its hard to tell the diffrence. Well I have taken Dilantin for these attacks, it does calm them down, unnoticably.
But the Dilantin I'm taking is my stepdad's.
Later i may talk to my pdoc about which medication should I take, stay with Dilantin, or Xanax but I still dont know if im having panic attacks or siezures. If i started taking Xanax, but i am really having siezure, would it take care of the siezure anyway?
Chemist you should know something about Dilantin too. Can it treat panic attacks also?
I heard its from the barbiturate family or something but has 5 rings.Oh well, i will greatly apprieciate your advice.

I just done a search on google for you xanax for siezures and all i seen was that xanax can cause them... i also read a post on medhelp forum reply from the doctor that Dilantin and depotake is great.

Klonoplin may be good but i dont think it treats Panic Disorder, neither Phenobarbital (Luminal).
I dont know what i have!
Anyways, ill stay with Dilantin for now since it works on these attacks, moderatly.

As for Cylert (responding to your post below), it never made me feel like a zombie, but no stimulant has ever done that so I may not be the best person to ask. I've always been struck by how people report feeling emotionless on stimulants. It was a good, long-lasting stimulant, but I had to give it up due to weight loss, a side effect that in my case was medically dangerous.
