My mistake, I was pretty groggy when I wrote the last post.
I'm not taking neurontin. I tried Nortriptyline again and just can't take it. I really think it was ganging up with Tegretrol (they are chemically so similar)
so....what I've done is added on Tegretrol to my daily regimen.
2 in the morning, to around dinner time and three at night.
I'm also taking melatonin before bed (on the advice of my neurologist.)
I have to get the levels of Tegretrol checked in two weeks.
I feel so much better when not taking Nortriptyline.
I have also added "Slo-Mag" to the daily mix...
So far, about a week and I haven't had any major outbursts of stabbing pain in my scalp!
