Hi @siren - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thanks for sharing some of your story.
Curious why you were taking the phenobarbital as a child? Was it for epilepsy, or another condition?

@lisalucier Thank you LisaLucier.
I had exceptionally high fevers when I got sick as a child. I was put in ice baths. I had seizures because of the high fevers according to my parents and Dr's choose back then to put me on Phenobarbital to get ahead of the curve and stop them before.
That's what I was told. Hope to hear if any others out there with similar issues.
Thank you to you all. Siren
