I was diagnosed with epilepsy 31 years ago (I'm 38 now). My oldest son had seizures also but turned blue during one of them. Doctors checked his heart and learned that he doesn't have epilepsy, but a heart condition called Long QT Syndrome, which is often misdiagnosed as epilepsy. The doctor is now weaning me off the dilantin which I've been taking for 31 years. I take atenolol now, which is a beta blocker and helps the heart. Why were you taken off of dilantin?
