I had facial tingling and some pain starting in 2005, not Dx until 2011. First as T neuralgia, and put on Tegretol...stopped after a yr....side effects. Another neuro doc said he thinks is it T neuropathy---said I could try Neurotin---did not start it...I can tolerate the brief periods of discomfort but would like to know more about it...I really don't think the docs have the answers....just some irritation of the TG nerves. I am happy not to be taking a drug for it and pray that it does not worsen. Mtgirl
