If you have liver problems is it easier to get sick and harder to get well?

First, I recommend a good neurologist. Explain your symptoms. There have been a large number of drugs that treat epilepsy since the 70s. I too am on Dilantin. I also have hypothyroidism which I am dealing with. I am not a doctor, but if it was me, I would ask the neurologist if he could maybe add another drug and lower your dosage of Dilantin. Just a thought. Also ask to get bloodtests, if you haven't already. An endocrinologist may also be of help. I am actually seeing one soon, as they deal with hormones, Ask your neurologist if that is something you should pursue. Hypothyroidism can be controlled. As far as the sickness, it may be because your body is stressed. Talk to your doctors first and get your dosages settled. The rest should fall in place.
