I have typical TN and tegretol seems to keep it under control, but only with increasing dosage over time. I'm scared what will happen when I get to the maximum dose (I'm on 800mgs per day now).

I've Been Diagnosed With Tn Also...i've Had It For Almost 2 Years...i Don't Have The Pain, Think Goodness, However, I Do Have The Tingling, And Nubmness...i'm Taking Gabapentin, A Neurontin, 1200 Mg A Day, 1 In The Morning And 1 At Night..it Does Help But Never Really Takes The Numbness Completely Away...i've Also Gained 25 Pounds....i'm Now Taking Vitamin B-complex Along With Vitamin B-12...i Know This Might Sounds Crazy, But I Think It's Helping...

Please Let Me Know If Anyone Else Is Experiencing This...

Thanks
