trigeminal neuralgia
"Life changing and I would not quit taking this unless I was forced to. I tried the tegretol and it was too severe for me. I have been on oxcarbazepine for 6 weeks now and it has almost stifled my trigeminal neuralgia episodes to where I can function now. It does have its side effects and I am often confused for the first few hours of taking my medication which is 150 milligrams 2 times per day. I'm glad we are starting out on a low dose As I am down to 102 pounds. I am also taking 3200 milligrams of gabapentin. This combination has worked for me. My last episode of trigeminal neuralgia was in September 2015 and it lasted for 34 days. That was it for me. I'm so glad for this medication to be available to me. There is a trade off though."
