Hi Missey,

I am sorry to read your story, and the reason for your coming to join us.

Your Tegretol for Bipolar Disorder once helping with TN pain mirrors my Topiramate for Chronic Cluster Headaches having the same beneficial side effect - along with the bad ones. Luckily, I still get some pain reduction as I also have Chronic Neuropathic Facial Pain and Paresthesia.

You have the right attitude, researching your issues. I just hope you find a Doctor, PM or Neuro, who can help you as much as my PM team helps me. Coming here certainly opens up a great support network.

Have you checked out our Bipolar Forum?

Dave.
