> It sounds like its really worth a shot. How did the anecdotal patients get their physicians to prescribe it?
The physician who prescribed it in the case reports is an Australian named Philip Bird.
I'm not sure if this holds true where you live in Germany, but in the US, drugs that have been approved by the FDA can be prescribed by any physician for off-label purposes. (This doesn't mean that any physician would be willing to do this.)
Philip Bird uses ultra-low-dose phenytoin prepared by compounding pharmacies. You could check with compounding pharmacies in your area and ask them if they can provide the names of physicians who use their services.
