Just diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia
Posted , 16 users are following.
Hi, new to this! I was diagnosed with this yesterday after suffering around 2 weeks with facial pain on the right hand side, behind my cheekbone and down my jaw, a constant 'dull' throbbing with occasional 'flashes' of more acute pain. It started just after dental work but the dentist looked at me twice again and confirmed it is not tooth related, even though sometimes it feels like the pain is hitting there! I have been prescribed Carbamazepine, one pill per night. Any words or advice or such are welcomed!

Welcome to the forum.
What dosage are you on? And tegretol (carbamazapine) is the best medication you'll have.
Are you experiencing any side effects?
Ive been suffering for over twenty years on and off. I'm now retired and my TN returned with a vegence but sadly Tegretol doesn't work for me anymore.
all I can say is take your mess reliously and maybe, you'll find your TN will disappear sooner rather than later.
good luck and let us know how you get on.
best regards
Gloriana
