Carbamazepine during pregnancy
Posted , 2 users are following.
I'm currently on 700mg daily of Carbemazepine/Tegretol for TN. I understand that it is not safe to take during pregnancy. Has anyone taken an effective alternative TN drug that is safe to use during pregnancy please?

Hi Sasha, I've just had "Gamma Knife" treatment for T.N. and it's working great. Just do a Google search for Gamma Knife. There should be one near you.Only takes 40 minutes or so as a day patient for one visit. No side effects except the pain reduces dramatically after two hours and lasts 4 to 5 years before you need it again.

Thank you for replying. I'm glad your treatment went well and that you're pain free again. I was thinking that I might have to go straight to surgery. I'll look at my options.
Thanks again and happy healing.
