In reply to Re: HELP! MY SON IS USING PHENYTOIN FOR OTHER PUPOSES, posted by HappyGirl on February 26, 2004, at 17:28:13
thank u all for such great advice........my son was lucky enough to have had enough sense to realize the possible outcomes of continuing phenytoin..i printed out the interactions and side-effects and showed it to him.....and thankfully he has now changed his mind.....u see when someone here said that phenytoin worsens gum problems for people.....i even told him that he siad he had a mouth sore which had got so bad that almost couldnt eat because it burned too bad....and small surprise phehytoin has a hand in this.......
after talking things over i have decided to buy him DMAE which is a far far safer subsitute .I enclose some literature on it....people who have tried it already will be a big help.THANK U ALL SO VERY MUCHDMAE
Normally found in small amounts in our brains, DMAE (dimetheyaminoethanol) has been shown to remarkably enhance brain function when used as a supplement in clinical studies.For instance, in a French double-blind study, individuals were given 1200 mg/day of DMAE for five days and showed significant improvements in alertness, neuromotor control, with decreased anxiety.Studies also show a remarkable improvement in learning and behavior problems such as ADD. A study conducted by Dr. Carl Pfeiffer of Princeton, N.J. showed significant improvements in behavior, learning ability, and attention span with 108 boys and girls. Irritability was decreased, scholastic ability was improved and IQ was actually elevated in some cases. These same improvements were seen with another study using 500mg of DMAE on 74 children with learning and hyperactivity problems.Other adult studies on DMAE show a continual mild stimulation without side effects with DMAE as well as increased intelligence and physical energy. With all its remarkable benefits, DMAE is sure to take its place as an important contribution to nutritional supplements.TAKING DMAEDosage: Begin with low dosages (125mg) and slowly increase up to 500mg/day as needed. Overdosing can cause insomnia, headaches or muscle tension. which disappear when dosage is lowered. No serious adverse effects have ever been reported. Should not be used by epileptics or those with manic depression
