Question:

What is the safe procedure for changing from dilantin to tegretol thank you so much

Answer:

Thank you for visiting NetWellness. On this site, we try to answer general questions about epilepsy but can not recommend treatment changes. You appear to have some very, very specific questions about your epilepsy, which can only be answered properly by a physician who is familiar with your history, physical exam, and test results. Your questions about the proposed treatments of this condition need to be directed to your treating physician(s). You should insist that they answer these questions in a way that you are able to understand before consenting to any treatment. If your physician is unable to help you understand these issues, you should get a second opinion. Take care.
