Quoted from here: https://www.epilepsy.com/medications/primidone
"Although not prescribed very often by doctors, Mysoline (primidone) can be effective in treating seizures. When Mysoline is consumed it is metabolized (processed by the body) into phenobarbital and phenoethylmelanamide, both of which have antiepileptic effects. Therefore, taking Mysoline gives you the effectiveness of phenobarbital plus additional protection. A patient whose seizures have not been controlled by phenobarbital may have better results from Mysoline."
I cannot seem to source Pheno online anywhere, nor is my physician willing to prescribe it to me (even though I suffer from myoclonus). He did however mention Primidone as a potential alternative treatment. Does Primidone contain enough Pheno to act as a substitute in the PPH cocktail? How do I calculate how much Pheno there is per pill of Primidone?
Do the other ingredients in Primidone pose a risk of compromising the method's effectiveness?
