Depakote , Tegretol/Trileptal. All have various long term potential
Toxicities., and this is why gabapentin and Lyrica are favored
For PN treatment.
It is very typical to have rebound pain with
neuropathy when the Benzos wear off.
This is their down side.
Have you had the tests to show the
Compression of your celiac artery?

Thanks- I didn't notice tegretol but read about oxcarbazepine. Thanks for the list.
My doctor heard a bruie, had an ultrasound done. It showed the narrowing and recored the trubulent flow. I had a CT scan the also showed the compressed celiac artery and that it was starting to balloon up. Both surgeons I saw said it is a controversial surgery as it can be interpreted either way as to whether such a condition exists. They had both seen people with the celiac artery completely blocked off by plague and the patient had no symptoms. Despite what they said I definetley have stomach issues and constant thumping going on so to me the surgery would be worth it to rule it out and if it fixes me I would be even happier.
