I guess I'm having a time of remission... Since Christmas I have been able to lower my Carbamezapine to 200 mg a day (from 600). I felt that since I wasn't having a flare-up, it would be best to not take the meds so they wouldn't become less effective. Anyone have this experience... I wondering how long people have had a "break" before it returns.
So glad you are having a remission! I have never had one long enough to be able to lower my meds. I went full-blown TN in August and every time I think "YAY! I haven't had pain in a week! Maybe I can lower my meds soon.", I have a little attack. I have increased 3 times since August and I am on 1200mg tegretol a day. I wish that would happen for me.
Remission can go days/weeks/months just enjoy every day you get during this break!!!
