Dear Physician,Currently Im taking Phenytoin Sodium EX capsules and Keppra capsules for Grand Mal seizures. Is there any special diet or anything I need to avoid daily other than the well known things (alcohol, ect.)? Im curious about some of my side effect that I seem to have sometimes, and wonder if I may be ingesting something accidentally that may be increasing side effects (household items) unknowingly? However, Diabetes run in my family history.It seems sometimes as if Im taking a lot of this seizure medication. After researching them individually I noticed they all seem to have similar side effects. Changes of : blood sugar, pressure, diet, appetite, sleep, ect. Simply, all of the negative battles that a typical diabetic may struggle with. Please, can you give me (57 ft and 155 LB ) some advise on taking : 2- Keppra 500mg tabs and 4- Phenytoin EX 100mg capsules daily.
