At this point I am giving up on medicines!!! The Neurontin and Tegretol are making my life a LIVING HELL!!! Not that having TN pain would be a greater option!! I told my neurologist that I was stopping both medicines and he wasn't very helpful whatsoever. I feel SO ALONE!!! I hope I just go to sleep and never wake up!!! That's the point I am at right now............
No. He does not inject around the jaw with me Donna. He does eyebrows, forehead, temples, this spot on my scalp between my temples and ear, back of head, neck and shoulders. I think it's like 35 injections in total. I don't know if they can inject different areas depending on pain.
hi i know everbody has different side effects but the first 10 days for me was difficult but as i kept taking tegretol it has been a break through my pain is so much better and i am on 1000mlg a day.i am not pain free but when they come on now my pain is been a 3 for pain level not like has been before beating my head against the wall trying to knock myself out.good luck.
