For Trigeminal Neuralgia "I started Tegretol a week ago for Trigeminal Neuralgia. I was having more and more episodes of TN, and was miserable. Since starting the medicine, I have only had one brief episode of pain. I have had terrible itching since I started taking it. I saw a different doctor today about the itching, and he said the dose was too high. Hopefully the 100 mg twice a day will relieve the TN pain and not cause itching. I am happy to try the Tegretol, because TN pain is unbearable. Worse than any pain I've ever had (including labor, c-section pain, and oral surgery pain)."

For Epilepsy "My neurologist just discovered I had seizures about a month ago, and it has been a constant trial and error finding a medication that will work. I was taking 600 mg of Tegretol for the last week, and I developed an awful red rash and itching all over. My doctor has changed me to Dilantin today, and I hope I do better on that. Keppra was the first drug, and that didn't help."

For Epilepsy "This is the only medicine I am allergic to. Extreme itching! I couldn't stop taking it too fast. Luckily, it doesn't have a very long half-life."
