Default Those with MS and on antisezure meds???
I have trigeminal neuralgia and am getting some relief from my Trileptal. I am also noticing my lower body is much more comfortable. The spams that I usually get in my legs are so much better.

I am surprised and didn't expect that with this medication. I LOVE it! But am wondering if others get relief from these types of meds.

Hubby is on Lamotrigine and Neurontin. The Neurontin helps his nerve pain. The Lamotrigine is for seizures only. He has noticed however, that Zanax helps with his hand tremors. I suspect because it's a nerve pill that it helps. It is amazing how many meds are out there that help more than one symptom.

I take Neurontin for nerve pain. It really helps. As a bonus it helps with my essential tremors.

I have been taking Neurontin for a number of years now and it has been a blessing to me.

How much do you take, Tricia? Is there a maximum amount you can take each day that you know of? Even the 600 mg I take three times a day isn't cutting it some days. I know I probably need to bring this up to my Neuro next time I go.
