Well neuro confirmed that I now have Trigeminal Neuralgia and he is putting me on Tegretol. Any advice or side effects I should look for? I've never had it before, kinda nervous. I hope it helps because I am in bad pain tonight. Thanks for helping me.

Tegretol
I have been on Tegretol for almost 2 years for Trigeminal Neuralgia and other than the occassional sleeplessness, I have had no side effects that I am aware of. I still take a fairly low dose 200mg 2x a day and it seems to be helping. I do know that with all of the meds combined, you have to have a full blood work up with the liver panel done every 3 months though. Hope this helps.

Thanks
Thanks for responding. I have been on the med for a week or so...nothing unusual except some distortion and when the med wears off my headache gets very bad! Im playing around with when to take meds to avoid this. Anyhow...thanks and have a good day.The Best things in life....aren't things!
