What are the possible side effects of phenytoin?
If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking phenytoin and seek emergency medical attention or contact your doctor immediately:
an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives);
hallucinations;
slurred speech or staggering walk;
a rash;
changes in vision;
agitation;
low blood pressure;
slow or irregular heartbeats;
abdominal pain, dark urine, light colored stools, or jaundice (yellow skin or eyes);
easy bruising or bleeding; or
swollen or tender gums.
Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take phenytoin and talk to your doctor if you experience
nausea, vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea;
mild dizziness or drowsiness;
tender or swollen glands;
swollen or painful gums;
headache;
muscle twitches;
increased facial hair;
swelling of breasts, or
insomnia.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.

What other drugs will affect phenytoin?
The following drugs can increase the level of phenytoin in the blood which may cause dangerous side effects:
alcohol (with occasional use);
other seizure medicines such as ethosuximide (Zarontin) or methsuximide (Celontin Kapseals);
the stomach medicines cimetidine (Tagamet, Tagamet HB) or ranitidine (Zantac, Zantac 75);
the anxiety and insomnia medicines chlordiazepoxide (Librium, Librax) and diazepam (Valium);
estrogens such as conjugated estrogens (Premarin, Premphase, Prempro), estradiol (Estrace), esterified estrogens (Estratab, Menest), estropipate (Ogen), and estrogen patches (Estraderm, Vivelle, Climara);
the heart medicine amiodarone (Cordarone);
salicylates such as aspirin, magnesium salicylate (Magan), choline salicylate (Arthropan), and choline and magnesium salicylate (Trilisate);
anti-infective medicines such as isoniazid (Nydrazid) and sulfonamides such as sulfamethoxazole (Septra, Bactrim);
methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, Metadate, Methylin);
tolbutamide;
trazodone (Desyrel); and
disulfiram (Antabuse).
Other drugs may decrease the amount of phenytoin in the blood. This can decrease the effects of phenytoin and result in seizures. The following drugs may have this effect:
alcohol (when used regularly);
carbamazepine (Tegretol, Epitol, Carbatrol);
reserpine;
sucralfate (Carafate); and
molindone (Moban).
Other seizure medicines may interact unpredictably with phenytoin and either increase or decrease its effects. These drugs include
valproic acid (Depakene) and divalproex sodium (Depakote); and
phenobarbital (Luminal).
It may be necessary for your doctor to adjust your phenytoin dosage if you are taking any of the medicines listed above.
Phenytoin may also decrease the activity of other medicines, including
steroid medicines such as prednisone (Deltasone), hydrocortisone (Cortef), betamethasone (Celestone), dexamethasone (Decadron), methylprednisolone (Medrol), and others;
warfarin (Coumadin);
quinidine (Quinidex, Quinaglute, others);
birth control pills;
estrogens such as Premarin, Ogen, Menest, Estratest, Estraderm, Vivelle, Climara, and others;
the anti-infective medicines rifampin (Rimactane, Rifadin) and doxycycline (Doryx, Vibramycin, Doxy, Monodox, Adoxa, others);
furosemide (Lasix); and
theophylline (Theo-Dur, Theochron, Theo-Bid, Theolair, Aerolate, others).

How long does it take a prescription like Wellbutrin to start working?… by mina_de_valenc
I've recently started taking Wellbutrin and have been on it now for about 3 weeks. I actually think its making my depression worse. I am quieater, dont talk to people very much, lose my patience and cry more now than before. This was supposed to help me! My friends have noticed that I'm not acting like myself lately. I dont think its the dosage. Does it matter what time you take it at?
Best Answer:
Most antidepressants take 6-8 weeks to completely kick in. Depending on what kind of Wellbutrin you're taking, SR or XL, the time of day does matter. If you only have to take Wellbutrin SR once a day, take it in the morning. If you are taking Wellbutrin XL, I would take it in the morning, if it doesn't make you too drowsy. But I don't think it makes that big of a difference.
If it doesn't work in the next few weeks, go back to your doctor. Some antidepressants don't work for some people. There are so many different ones and there may be a medication that works better.
