In reply to Is Dilantin (phenytoin) a mood stabilizer/A.D. ???, posted by 3 Beer Effect on January 21, 2003, at 17:13:16
There are lots of anti-aging websites that sell Dilantin for anti-aging benefits and mood benefits. It supposedly has some good properties for both normal people as well as psychiatric patients.
But truthfully, I have only ever known one person who did well with it. If 10 people were to try it, it's my guess that 9 of them would not like it.
There are much better choices out there, such as Lamictal and/or Zyprexa.
