Hi Tamina
I too had twitching in my hands.I totaly relate this to the Tegretol.Some days worse then others.Ofcourse I was on a very high dose of Teg (2000mg a day)Not sure what meds you are taking but remember most TN meds are central nervous system drugs anti convulsants.
Hope relief and pain free days are around the corner for you

I get a lot of twitches and spasms as well… it started for me before the TN and after I became suddenly paralyzed… and I was always told they had nothing to do with one another, but personally disagree… I’ve recently been researching the MVD and found it also used to to treat hemifacial spasms, which I have… my symptoms too seemed to leading me towards MS a few years ago. I have improved since then, so I’m not so terrified that I’m on the MS path these days.
