Abstract
Phenytoin toxicity occurred in an older man who received a dosage of 300 mg/day. The patient developed high serum phenytoin concentrations from this common adult dosage, with symptoms of functional decline and altered mental status. These behaviors were perceived as sun-downing and were treated with haloperidol. A long hospitalization was required.
