I have been pain free for 6 months -- 100 Trileptal 2 x per day

Bad news -- Cannot feel confident going on a job interview - to get a job - to get my bills paid! I have a Master's Degree in social work and I feel like an alzheimers patient - I can't even help myself.

More afraid of Tazer-lightning to the side of my face - can't go to work with that either.

I cannot even play scrabble with my son -- my new husband is very concerned.

I realize some don't ever see relief - but this could cost me my sanity and career -- Seeing Neuro soon ---- but YOU are the experts ---

If I go off it -- will it not work again? Should I just taper off and cross my fingers? Is gabapentin this debilitating intellectually for others?

Should I consider surgery since it has been only 6 months ago that an oral surgeon changed my life forever?

Thanks--- Kimberly
