May I ask what your MS symptoms are please? My MRI was clear but I am experiencing numbness and tight squeezing sensations in my left arm, fingers, toes and leg. All the same side as my TN pain. The consultant suggests trigeminal neuropathy as well as TN but no definitive conclusion.
Thanks
Janine

For the meds I am taking...none..untill this TN. I will probably find the solution to end this TN by exploring a correct CBD(thc) combo. Do not get caught up with all these fancy drugs.

Good luck with your meds. I agree they all come with side affects so stay clear as much as possibble.

My Dad was fine on 200mg carbamazepine but it stopped working and he had to up his dose. I could tell when he had taken 300mg!
By Christmas he was on 600mg and seeing double, he felt so ill and it didn't control the pains. By January he was starting to get some relief and was getting used to the drug. He had gamma knife surgery mid January but had to keep up the dose of 500mg. He finally got use to the dose but luckily the treatment seems to have worked he is gradually reducing the dose and is back down to 300mg.
Ultimately he did get used to the drowsy, zombie feeling. But it took quite a while.
I hope that you find relief soon
