"I'm 64. I have been taking 100mg of phenobarbital since I was 15. I started with 1, then 2, then 3 a day, so I have been on 300 mg a day. But what gets me is the pharmacist, along with doctors, keep wanting to give me lower doses of phenobarbital and try to get me off of it. As soon as I'm doing great, working, and having a good life, they end up changing things, and I end up having serious headaches along with seizures. I keep telling them, if it's not broke, don't fix it, but they don't want to listen at all."
