So I had my appt with GP and he kept me on the 800mg of tegretol and 50mg amitriptyline (for my lingering headaches from mvd). I love him because he cares and actually listens!! He gave me a compound medicated cream which has baclofen, cyclobenzaprine, gabapentin, lidocaine and diclofenac. I have used the cream for 2 days and have been pain free!!! Of course my insurance doesn't cover it but it is $59 a month...small price to be pain free!!! Just wanted to let everyone know about it so in case you wanted to ask you docs about it!!!!!
Oh and my tegretol went from extended release to regular. I was sent a 7 day free trial of the cream. I did order a full month since I didn't know how my body would react to the change in tegrtol. I will keep you posted!!
