Jean,

Congratulations on making the 5 week mark! Sounds like your making great progress. It sounds like you're not too afraid of feeling a twinge here or there. I'm still afraid of feeling any little thing. It scares me that it will come back full force. I've had pounding in my ears before too but not recently. It would mostly happen when I would first lay down at night to go to sleep. I've always had ringing in my ears ever since I started the tegretol. It bothers me mostly at night also, when it's quiet. I've never decreased tegretol since I started taking it a year ago. That will be the hard one for me because I know they say that one works the best for tn. I haven't noticed yet if I've started to feel better from decreasing the neurontin as far as side effects go. I still get tired really easily and my short term memory is not the greatest. Hopefully once I'm off of everything this will change.

Keep me updated,

Laureen
