I am so allergic to Tegretol that I break out in big red dots all over and it looks like measles..They stay for about a week.When I learned that I had TN, it was from two hard jolts like lightening through the left side of my face. I was petrified. My eye, ear, nose, and throat Doctor made the diagnoses. He put me on 100mg. Dylantin and 30mg. Amitriptyline at bedtime. This is what held me for TEN yrs.
I had almost forgotten about it. I just took my little pills at bedtime and went on with my life.It was easy enough.I had no idea what lay ahead for me. I mean It was under control, right? Soon after the ten year mark, The horror began as if I had a date with the devil himself..........
