"This medicine brought almost instant relief for a very painful neurological condition caused by a root canal procedure that went bad. I suffered for two years before someone suggested this medicine. After 4 doses, I was free of pain and continue to be. I understand I will be on this medicine for life."

"I've had Trigeminal Neuralgia for over 16 years, and the only relief I've ever had was Carbamazepine. Until recently, Walmart was trying to save me money by giving me the equivalent, Epitol, which I was told I'd have the same formulary. This can't be correct, because I can barely function due to being extremely sleepy with this drug. I had taken Carbamazepine for so long, and it worked 11 on a scale of 1-10. Changing my medicine without my consent was not a cool thing to do, and I urge others to make sure that they look into these things before taking different medicines. I'm not pleased with Epitol at all."

"When I was first diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia, I was in lots of pain. Pain medications did NOTHING. But Epitol worked, but I was continually upped on the dose to keep it working. At the highest dose my Dr. would give, 1200 mg a day, the pain still came back AGAIN. Finally, a neurologist added 25 mg of Amitriptyline and lowered the Epitol to 600 mg a day. I've even lowered that over the past few years to just 400 mg of Epitol a day and still only 25 mg of Amitriptyline at night. I've also used Carbamazepine (the name brand) and Epitol (the generic), both work the same for me."
