Worked wonders for me for 25 years and slowly stopped being so effective. It is AMAZING for face pain. I took 600 mg for 24 years and then upped to 1000 daily until it became time to change. Still looking for something new. 2 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

I have constant pain in my neck, scalp, left thumb. Tegretol helped but compromised my bone marrow. Be sure to have to have CBC blood work regularly. 3 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Although the side effects can be very difficult to deal with but the pain of Trigeminal neuralgia is far far worse. This last attack that I had with the disorder put me to my knees begging to die so I started my Tegretol once again and now 6 days into it no pain at all. I am very nauseated and extremely dizzy but I will take the side effects over the pain any day of the week. 11 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate
