Okay, question time, Ten years ago i had brain surgury, and since then i have been on dilantin to prevent fits due to the scar tissue on my brain, for the last two months i have been feeling dizzy and have nausa too, could there be something wrong in my brain or could it just be the medication?

Hi Jessie,
Welcome to the boards.
Both of your symptoms, nausea and dizziness, are common side effects of dilantin so it could be the medication. However, assuming that you've been on this for a while and have not been experiencing any side effects, you should let your doctor know.
It could be the dosage needs to be adjusted or perhaps you are becoming tolerant of the medication.
It could also be an inner ear infection or something else. Your doctor would be the best resource in this case.
Hope that helps some. Please keep us posted as to how you're doing. Good luck.
