I had seizures as a young child. I was put on
Phenobarbital as a means of controlling them. Later (around age 6) the weaned me off of the drug slowly. So far I haven't had problems again. Of course as others have mentioned every case is likely to be different. In my case I was a blue baby because when I was born my mom had some problems and it's likely my airway wasn't cleared promptly. Of course as I've heard it in the past it was a nurse and not my mom's Dr.who attended either. He (the Dr.) was at the local country club having fun at the time.
