Hate to say welcome to the club....You should go to a neurologist...I did the neurontin/tegretol/gabatein/carbatrol/trileptal(spelling doesn't count right)..my neurologist started me out on a low dosage to control my episodes..unfortunately my episodes were daily and my dosage just kept going up and up...so much that it effected my vision/electrolytes..I was a mess..trips to the dentist often...HOPING it was a toothache/almost got funny every time I went to the dentist..praying the exray would show a cavity...long long story I went for the GAMMA KNIFE...since meds no longer were helping me....major trade off..no more pain but I lost the feeling on that entire side of my face...many weird feelings/sensations...hopefully you will have success with the meds..jus be careful and when YOU think something is wrong ..it probably is...doc don't know everything
