<s>[INST] i am taking dilantin as a result of a siezure suffered after being bashed and recieving intracranial haemorrhage/subdural haematoma and subarachnoid haemorrhage, this happened about the 28th dec 2013.after spending 30 days in brisbane hosp the swelling had gone down enough to come home. i have not had any seizures since but am still on 260 mgs of dilantin. I want to know if this is an overhigh dose and how long should i be taking it for thankyou from michael [/INST] If u don't have seizures for almost 3 yrs.....u can taper off dilantin. Almost 80 % of such patient don't get repeat seizure.Recurrence also depends upon location of hemorrhage. </s>
