That one guy seems to think its a miracle; anyone have experience with this stuff?

Didnt notice anything weird untill i listened to music and noticed it sounded alot better as normally it sounds boring with my anhedonia i also seem to be more talkative wich is weird as normally dont enjoy it at all.

Oh yeah i combine it with pramiracetam.

I also had a infusion with a month lasting dose of dilantin they said in the hospital and he was doubting wheter to give tablets but eventually did and i have to return end of last month to get a eeg.

I suspect i have GBL induced epilepsy as the last year it often caused seizures when i took it and with epilepsy i was more prone to a seizure anyway.

I took Dilatin about 15 years ago.  I don't remember it doing much.  Interesting history though:

Quote

There are some indications that phenytoin has other effects, including anxiety control andmood stabilization, although it has never been approved for those purposes by the FDA.Jack Dreyfus, founder of the Dreyfus Fund, became a major proponent of phenytoin as a means to control nervousness and depression when he received a prescription for Dilantin in 1966. He is believed to have supplied large amounts of the drug to Richard Nixonthroughout the late 1960s and early 1970s. Dreyfus' experience with phenytoin is outlined in his book, A Remarkable Medicine Has Been Overlooked.[4] Despite more than $70 million in personal financing, his push to see phenytoin evaluated for alternative uses has had little lasting effect on the medical community. This was partially because Parke-Daviswas reluctant to invest in a drug nearing the end of its patent life, and partially due to mixed results from various studies. It was approved by the USAFood and Drug Administration in 1953 for use in seizures.
