I see my primary-care physician tomorrow--and I'm going to put in a call to my neurologist, who was prescribing the trileptal. Then I see my psychiatrist on Wednesday. I also have bipolar disorder, so my last psychiatrist steered me away from anti-depressants. I know Lyrica isn't one, so that's particularly why I am interested in that. I was on Neurontin years ago for bipolar....

Yes, I'll try to update later. I'm hoping one of them might be willing to let me try Lyrica. I know it is supposed to help with fibromyalgia, which I also have been diagnosed as having.

(Do any of you folks with TN also have fibromyalgia? I know it can cause facial pain.)
