Help for pain from Tegretol for treatment of Tringeminal Neuralgia?
I am taking Tegretol for treatment of TN. The Tegretol works for the TN, but when I take I feel this great pressure inside my head. I feel like my head is going to explode. This pressure is not pain, but it is intense. Is this a common side effect, because sometimes I don’t know which is worse. If I don’t take the Tegretol, I need to take Tremmil and Toradol injections.
My doctor said there is a medication out, that not on the PBS health system yet. Does anyone know what this is? I have searched web sites and have found nothing. Please help!
I have prevously tried, massage, Reike, and Steroid injection into a trigger point without succuss.
Thanks to all who answer.

Dear Michelle:
My sympathies go out to you for having to live with Trigeminal Neuralgia. I think it’s the worst condition anyone can have . You really are in a rock and a hard place on medication. I think a medication that might work for you is Lyrica. even though it is for leg pain it’s a drug that treats Neuralgia. You would have to ask your doctor about this. I could be wrong.
Have you tried acupuncture? I have heard of people with your condition getting some good results from acupuncture. I recommend you give it a try, you have nothing to lose and possibly something to gain.
if you have any further questions please let me know ,
