Had Spontaneous ICB Front Lobal, Seizures. MRI Scan Shows Dissipated Blood. Taking Phenytoin. How To Stop Medicine?
i am 25 and 3 weeks ago suffered a spontaneous icb front lobal, i had 2 seizures whilst being treated by paramedics , once hospitalised i had numerous cat scans and awaiting a mri scan once the remaining blood has disapated, i am currently taking phenytoin 300mg once a day and would like to come off this drug. i have suffered no sezures since the initial 2 i had when the the bleed occured
hi, dont be hasty to stop the drug phenytoin , it will take time for clearence of the clot, and there could be reoccurance of bleeding once the clot is gone, phenytoin you should continue till your doctor advises to stop. If seizure occurs again, you may get another head injury and bleeding, and the condition is repeated. thank you.
