Don't Back Down

Tonight marks a full dose of Zonegran, at 400mg. I've been feeling a bit drowsy, but I think it's from the high level of drugs in me right now. Hopefully with the Dilantin starting to taper off, that will be better soon.

Seriously. I've had this little itch to reorganize things around here for a while, and once I get the server move completed, I think I probably will do so. One of the things on my mind is the archives. I know that I rarely read the archives of anyone else's site. So why do we have archives?

Though actually my medication has been changing for a couple of weeks now, it's taken on a new direction. To recap. For roughly 20 years I've been on Dilantin. With a few notable exceptions, we've been able to get along just fine. So switching medicines has been a bit of a nervous option for me. Frankly, I haven't wanted to do so. I know a lot of people don't like Dilantin, but for a drug first synthesized nearly 100 years ago, I'm okay with a few potential side effects. At least they are well known. For a newer drug that perhaps only has been around for 10 years, the answers just aren't there.

Tonight the Zonegran dose will be at full-strength (400mg), so I am taking the first steps to reduce my Dilantin dosage. The first change is to take only one Dilantin pill (100mg) in the morning. I'll still take 3 pills (300mg) in the evening.
