They have a technician that does the testings which is great. Sometimes Neurosurgeon could be good for advice.

We all know there is 2 options :

1. Rx
2. Surgery

Surgery isn't the option for me since its not severe.

Right now I am on 600 Carbamazepine. I take 400mg before sleep and 200mg in the morning but causes enough Drowiness to take over my life. 200mg had no drowiness.

If they don't care about you then they are in just for the money. Do research first before seeing one.

Wedmd is your friend.Neurologist

You have provided me with validation. Every neurologist I see wants me to try meds that I have ready tried during My tn journey. I provide them with a long list of drugs I have taken but they put it a side.
Almost like If they prescribe the drug in some magicAl way it will work. They have no understanding of the fact I am working full time and the side effects of changing meds are a huge deal reflecting job performance.if they can't help me I wish they would just be straight with me and not expect
E to go down that road of repetitious treAtment. My psychiatrist has been the most helpful and understNding with treTment. Oh how j long for the pre tn days. Surgery Mvd was my downfall. The surgeon takes no responsibility for dAmage done. Left facial numbness, constant burning stinging pAin. He says the nerve will heAl. It has been 10 years. Please someone take responsibility. Please don't mKe me feel lime A malinger or a non compliant patient for not wanting to try the same thing over and over again.
