My Neuropathy was caused by the long term use of the anti-seizure medications Dilantin/Phenytoin and Phenobarbital. I've had
Neuropathy for about 35 years. Currently I only have numbnes.

John,
The only other people I've ever talked to who have this same thing are relatives of mine. In our case(s) some of us have decided it's got to be genetic. That is, this extreme suseptibility of grave side effects. My brother's son reacted to chemical in his first year of life and the number of chemical he's allergic to have qualified him as disabled early on. Some prescriptions give me anaphalaxis, the worst kind of seizures. To this day, I can't remember those seizures but it's also documented that I don't have epilepsy. Do you have polyneuropathy (multiple nerve damages)? Or is it just one body part that is affected for you? Almost all of mine are prescription medications. Do you know of, or have you ever been treated with Cogentin as an antidote while you are having a bad reaction?

Jake, Sorry that the medications caused your neuropathy but glad you don’t have the pain.
