I have now been on Oxcarbazepine (Trileptal) 150mg twice/day for ten days and it has had no effect at all on my pain. The bright spot is that there have been no side effects either. Went back to see my family doctor last Friday and he wants me to up the dosage on this, but I'm not so sure I want to do that. I also have an apptmt with a Neurologist on 3/19.

I'm tempted to go back to a low dose of the Tegretol. At least with that I was getting some relief from the pain. I sure am getting weary.
