I've just begun taking Carbamazepine ER 400mg Tablets for trigeminal neuralgia, which has been absolutely debilitating for me. My doctor prescribed this medication to treat the nerve pain, and I'm hoping it will make a significant difference. I've read about the potential side effects, but I'm curious about real-life experiences. How long did it take for the medicine to start working? What kind of side effects did you experience, and how did you manage them? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
