Which worked heavenly and so went ahead with the implant. As far as I know I am the first to try and then get a neuro stim implant for face pain ( T.N.) I have had it since July of 2002. I am no longer on medications . I am NOT pain free I still deal with pain everyday but now it I am able to control it most of the time and keep it at a level that is bearable . It saved my life and I know I could NOT live without it.
I am VERY THANKFUL to everyone else who is able to reply to the med questions as it is my weak area . I only know allergic reactions and with drawls and going to hosp. going threw detox... medications never helped and only were a nightmare for me. not saying that at times being a zombie wasnt a good change but to me if the pain is still there what is the point ?
anyways I just wanted to let you know I cant really help with meds and dont want you or anyone to think I am selective with replies or sharing info and such thats not true .
low pain and thanks for understanding . 
PEACE

You're a good cat, don't worry.
We're all struggling through this together. I find myself lucky that I have friends who are sympathetic to my situation and are helping me try alternative therapies. Perhaps some of these I can reveal in the near future if they provide therapeutic results.
As I am so young with so much life ahead..... I will fight this with all my vigor and knowledge. No one should have to live like this.
I will stick around these forums and even though I'm a greenhorn -- if I can contribute to a thread I will.
Besides my wife, carbamazepine and xanax this is what gets me through:
