Yeah I’m taking carbamazepine, it’s a miracle drug as far as I’m concerned. I feel about 75% better and I quite literally wake up with a smile on my face with very little pain.

I’m only on 100mg twice a day; but the suggested dosage is 600-800mg for nervous system pain, my GP is absolutely balls.

Excellent news. Does the condition get easier after time?

I’ve definitely noticed an improvement but for you read the NHS website about it it’s literally episodic.
