I have had high levels of Dilantin in the early 80's mine was 36. And by the time next seizure came it was 42. I had problems thinking, and getting threw the day. My Neuro say's 10- 20 is an normal range depends on weight and size. If concern talk to doctor or talk to another to ease concern. Good luck, Cindy
