    Hi Trudy,

    I recently came across below articles on Dilantin’s many other uses…including depression/anxiety/OCD etc…

    Was just wondering if you were aware of any further research …?

    Many thanks,

    Nina

    ======================================================================================

    http://www.whitakerwellness.com/health-concerns/overcoming-anxiety/dilantin-toxicity-treatment/

    Dilantin has also helped thousands of my patients. One of the first was a teenager who had OCD—he washed his hands constantly, and he felt compelled to pull his shirt over his hand before opening a door. After starting Dilantin, his symptoms disappeared. This formerly reclusive boy became the editor of his high school newspaper, went on to graduate from Stanford University, and is now a successful professional. He recently told me that if he runs out of Dilantin, after two or three days his obsessive behaviors begin to creep up again.

    https://lanternbooks.presswarehouse.com/books/BookDetail.aspx?productID=79225

    Jack Dreyfus retired from two highly successful businesses and established the Dreyfus Medical Foundation. Through the Foundation, the author has worked tirelessly, with no financial interest, to show how this medicine—phenytoin—has been reported useful in thousands of medical journals for more than 80 symptoms and disorders, ranging from thought, mood and behavior disorders to cardiovascular,

    http://www.drwhitaker.com/what-is-dilantin-and-what-are-its-uses

    Dilantin (phenytoin) is a safe, inexpensive, yet underused drug that has been shown to help a wide range of health problems.

    This drug, which has been around since the 1930s, is prescribed mainly for epilepsy. However, Dilantin does more than treat seizures. Studies and clinical experience have demonstrated that Dilantin uses include treating dysphoria—an emotional state marked by feelings of depression, anxiety, restlessness, dissatisfaction or unease.

    How Does Dilantin Work?

    Dilantin calms electrical activity in the brain. That’s why it’s such a great anti-seizure medication. However, even if you don’t have a seizure disorder, you may be one of the millions of people who have “static” in these electrical impulses. This can lead to anxiety, depression and a host of other problems.

    That’s where low-dose Dilantin comes in. Its effects on the nervous system can be likened to fine-tuning a radio. If you’re getting static—you can hear the music but there’s also a lot of irritating noise—adjusting the dial removes the noise and allows only music to come through. The sound is soothing and everyone is happy.

    What Does Treatment With Dilantin Involve?

    Dilantin uses require a prescription, so you will need to talk to your doctor. However, be prepared that he may not be willing to prescribe it for the conditions mentioned here.

    Even though it is perfectly legal for physicians to do so (it’s called “off-label” drug use), medicine has become so tightly regulated that doctors sometimes tell patients they won’t risk their medical license by writing a prescription for other Dilantin uses.

    That’s why I suggest you go to your physician armed with information. In addition to what you’ve read here, I strongly recommend the book The Story of a Remarkable Medicine, by Jack Dreyfus. It’s available, along with more information about Dilantin uses, at Remarkablemedicine.com.

    What Conditions is Dilantin Good for?
    •Anxiety
    •Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
    •Concentration problems
    •Claustrophobia
    •Depression
    •Dysphoria
    •Eating Disorders
    •Migraines
    •Obsessive-compulsive disorder
    •Restless leg syndrome
    •Temper tantrums
    •Tourette syndrome

    …. a couple of other sites (albeit, not familiar with the sources…)

      Hi Nina

      I have no experience with clients using this drug, how effective it may be and what side-effects folks may experience.

      I do disagree with the safety part of this statement: “Dilantin (phenytoin) is a safe, inexpensive, yet underused drug”. If you go to the Dilantin website (Dilantin dot com) you can read about how it may cause suicidal thoughts or actions, “new or worse depression, new or worse anxiety, feeling agitated or restless, panic attacks, trouble sleeping (insomnia), new or worse irritability, acting aggressive, being angry, or violent, acting on dangerous impulses, an extreme increase in activity and talking (mania), other unusual changes in behavior or mood.”

      It can also can cause a serious life-threatening disorder called Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) which can be fatal, swollen glands (lymph nodes), softening of your bones (osteopenia, osteoporosis, and osteomalacia), overgrowth of your gums, liver damage, birth defects, blood sugar issues etc.

      The site states this: “The most common side effects of DILANTIN include problems with walking and coordination, slurred speech, confusion, dizziness, trouble sleeping, nervousness, tremor, headache, and nausea.”

      For all these reasons I’d recommend nutritional approaches: food changes/quitting coffee and sugar and gluten, and using supplements like GABA, tryptophan, 5-HTP, inositol (which is very effective for OCD) etc. I always believe medications should be the last resort.

      I am not familiar with Dr. Whitaker’s work but I do see from his website (http://www.whitakerwellness.com/health-concerns/overcoming-anxiety/) that he is an integrative doctor and does offer nutritional solutions for anxiety. So I am interested to learn why he feels the need to also use Dilatnin despite it’s many side-effects. I’d also like to know how often he uses it, how much he uses and if he does use it as a last resort when nothing else has worked. And then finally, what side-effects his patients may have experienced.

      One other comment is about this being an anti-seizure drug and the fact that the amino acid taurine may help in certain individuals (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23410665). I wonder if taurine would be as effective as Dilantin but without the side-effects?

      Thanks for posing the question – I’m curious to know why you have an interest in this topic and if you have perhaps used this drug (and your results)?

      I’m going to email Dr Whitaker and ask him if he would kindly comment on this thread

      Trudy

    Thank you Trudy…

    …For your extremely well researched and in-depth response.
    So truly appreciated…

    No, I have not used the drug… I came upon it while researching anxiety/ocd etc… and was extremely taken by the former Wall Street tycoon, Jack Dreyfus. Jack was just so passionate about the wonders of this drug that he spent almost 40 years and over $70 million of his personal funds trying to get the word out… after it cured him of debilitating depression… He passed away at age 95 still trying, but his foundation continues to operate. So just simply thought it merited investigating further…

    …. I agree about using drugs as a last resort, (especially since they tend to fix one thing and break another). I also very much agree with and endorse the use of the many exceptional more “closer to nature based alternatives”, such as supplements, nutrition, energy medicine etc…

    But also wanted to note, that these options are often not
    that easy to implement … or absorb …and can be daunting
    to sift through without knowledgeable practitioners, whose
    access or availability can frequently be problematic.

    So …thank you Trudy for all the work you are doing in
    helping to get the word out … Truly grateful for all
    your time, valuable information and insights…

    My thanks again.

    Nina
