Query on Carbezamine for Trigeminal Neuralgia Pain Relief

[Hypo-hell]

Hi All,

I was hoping that someone may be able to advise on how long it would take to see any pain relief at all from TN. I am taking 200mg Carbezamine for last 11 days and nothing so far. Thank you

Hi you have my heartfelt sympathy, it is an awful thing to be stricken with. From my own experience I found that I had to slowly increase the dose until it gave relief. Obviously speak to your prescriber first but it was left to me to find the right dose that worked.

Thanks for your reply. I had to stop taking the Carbezamine on my third week due to severe side effects. I am seeking a referral to a pain management specialist but as I have to keep working, I can't takeany medication that will affect my thought process
