When and How to Take Mysoline
Some general considerations for when and how to take Mysoline include the following:
- Mysoline comes in tablet form and is taken by mouth one to three times daily.
- Mysoline can be taken with or without food. If Mysoline bothers your stomach, try taking it with food.
- Mysoline should be taken at the same time(s) each day to maintain an even level of the drug in your blood.
- For the medication to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. Mysoline will not work if you stop taking it. Do not stop taking Mysoline without first discussing it with your healthcare provider (see Primidone Withdrawal).
Dosing Information for Mysoline
The dose of Mysoline that your healthcare provider recommends will vary depending on a number of factors, including:

As is always the case, do not adjust your Mysoline dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
As with any medicine, side effects are possible with Mysoline. However, not everyone who takes the drug will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider. Serious side effects are less common.
Common side effects of Mysoline include, but are not limited to:
- Coordination problems
- A spinning sensation (vertigo)
