I should have asked him about it, but my brain isn't working that quickly these days. So my question is, do any of you experience this? I am taking Percocet and thought it could be from that, but wouldn't I have these symptoms on other parts of my body? I just really want to be certain I have been diagnosed correctly. I am on 500 mg of Tegretol 2x/day and am still having pain and these symptoms many many times a day. Of course, the intensity of the pain has lessened greatly and I wonder if these other symptoms are what happens when the Tegretol lessens the intensity of pain. Unfortunately, my doctor doesn't give me a lot of information. I want to be sure I am heading in the right direction, if there is one.
Thank you for your help.

That's how I started out with this terrible crawling itch...but my itching is in the brow and forehead and it drives me crazy. Also for a while I had it on the nose with felt like tiny hairs just tickling it..I practically started to cry with frustration. Fortunately I don't have the stabbing shocking pain I have the constant horrible ache and sensitivity. But I have experienced the the shocking pain on the lip and nose I didnt know what it was from....I thought it was from clenching my teeth. When I told my Dr he didnt think it had anything to do with it. He told me to take benadryl. I take carbamazephine 100mg 3x a day. Hasnt got rid of the pain totally but it did take away the burning. And helped alot with the mood swings.
