Trigeminal Neuralgia
"Hi, I&#039;m hoping someone may have taken Tegritol and had a similar experience. Okay, so approx. 2 1/2 weeks ago I rushed to the dentist because I thought my lower K-9 tooth (I guess that&#039;s what you&#039;d call it) on the right side was rotting. I was hurting extremely bad. Woke me up all through the night. They did X-Ray and said &quot;your teeth are perfect&quot;. I had X-Ray done of my neck due to prior experience w/ rupture. I knew it had to be a disc slip or rupture in my neck and a nerve was very irritated &amp; for some reason hurting what by now was all my teeth on the right side &amp; random stabbing in right ear. I was diagnosed w/ this Trigeminal Neuralgia. 200mg Tegrital 3x a day. Been on 5 days...no relief. Is this typical. I need this med to work!!"
