Trigeminal Neuralgia
"Diagnosed with TN two weeks ago. Within first 24 hours of taking Tegretol, I felt amazing. No pain, clear head etc. A week and a half after starting the medication, I had a horrific TN episode for twenty hours. The pain was so bad it woke me from sleeping. I&#039;m not sure whether to go back to Dr&#039;s for an increase or just put it down to allowing the meds to do its thing. Can only wait and see."
