woah, my first post on here. never thought I’d actually post anything; thought I’d just stay behind and watch.
anyways, I’ve been on these two for my trigeminal neuralgia pain. I’ve been diagnosed since before my trip to Oregon, so probably early June of this year. I’ve ‘consistently’ been on gabapentin since I was first diagnosed. which I’ve been trying to take consistently. I’m not a pill taker and my family has a really bad addictive history, so I’m a little scared. im afraid to take the carbamazepine because it’s so hot in California lately (an and significantly hotter in Stockton where I currently am) and I know the heat will mess up my already horrible skin… has anyone experienced a rash from taking carbamazepine?? told at I wore a sweater in 102 degree weather!
also, has anyone experienced severe depression while on these drugs? I’ve never been fully diagnosed; I’m scared of doctors. but I feel like I have a lot more bad thoughts and thoughts of suicide, which scare me… I have a lot more (slightly) bipolar episodes. I’m not too sure what to do.
