trigeminal neuralgia
"At first this medicine worked great. I went from Tegretal to this one. I have Bilateral Trigeminal Neuralgia so they started me out at 50mg and bumped me up quickly to 100mg. It seemed to be working great and yes the bathroom trips at first seemed to be never ending but after a while it seemed to calm down. I have been on it for 6 months now but after upping my dose to 150mg, after the pain started to come through with a vengeance, I started having twitching in my eyes and mouth and other side effects happened as well. So I have to stop taking it now and start a new regimen. I did however lose 20lbs so that was a great thing because I was needing that!"
