## Question
SUBJECT: phenobarbital
MESSAGE: I have been taking this medication for many years.  I am 75 years old and would like to know if there is any other medication to replace  phenobabiral.  I am concerned that it could be toxic to me as I become older.  I also take Dilantin as I have a seizure disorder due to a birth defect.  Any info you could provide would be appreciated.
