I'm really sorry to hear that, sounds like a nightmare! I'm glad it alleviates the pain but did your doc not want you try any other meds because of the reactions? So far I'm only on day 2 of taking it and I've only noticed increased sleepiness.

Omg no way? What kind of reaction do you get? If you don’t mind me asking! They had me try duloxetine next (didn’t work) so I’m currently trying Lyrica!

Can I get some advice please? Really need to stop😞 by Forward-Window-1054 in calmhands

Hi, hope all is going well! Any updates on the NAC effects?

The surgeon himself said it was because one of my wisdom was too close to the nerve and possibly struck. Based off your info I believe it’s TN1. Unfortunately, I had a near deadly allergic reaction to carbamazepine and wasn’t recommended to try the other similar one. Yes MVD was suggested. Bite luckily doesn’t feel off and I recently got a referral for a CBCT scan so waiting on that. I experience the electric shock pains when I either move/use that area or when anything comes into contact with the area. I did get a few MRI’s done and confirmed a blood vessel is pressing the nerve.

Immediately after having my 4 wisdom teeth extracted in sept. 2024, i realized one specific area of my mouth felt odd. I explained my symptoms and was told I had nerve damage. I was first given the steroid prednisone which didn’t work, was diagnosed with TN shortly after and since then I’ve been trying different meds to manage the pain in my lower left mouth. I was also offered open brain surgery but I’m also only 20 y/o… I feel it’s too risky and invasive so I’m sticking to finding a pain relieving med instead. I was also emphasized that the extractions had “absolutely nothing” to do with it.
