trigeminal neuralgia
"I have been using tegretol (carbamzepine) since 2008. I have been DX with Multiple Sclerosis  and Trigeminal neuralgia. I was put on Carbarzepine  because of the MS. My first dose started working at 400mg. And worked after a half an hour. Now in 2016. Because of my building a intolerance to the medicine . I am at 1200 mg. I can not live without this medicine. I have TN on both sides of my face. As soon as the shocks calm down I will slowly try to back off the medicine back to 900 mg where I was a month ago. Moving back and forth between doses makes my balance off and me feeling sick. I take the 1200 mg by splitting it into 4 times 8am , 2pm , 7pm and 12am. Not all at once."
