Hi Adam,
I think that about 15-25% of a dose of primidone is metabolised to phenobarbital. Phenylethylmalonamide is one of the other metabolites of primidone.
I remember that you said you liked phenobarbital. I get the impression that there is less stigma attached to using primidone than phenobarbital, perhaps because some prescribers are unaware that much of the effect of primidone is due to phenobarbital. Are you thinking of taking primidone?
Ed.
PS. Are you in South Africa at the moment?
