I was recently prescribed Carbamazepine 200mg ER Capsules for trigeminal neuralgia and I'm curious to hear from others who are taking the same medication. The doctor assured me it would help with the nerve pain, but I'm still a bit apprehensive about the side effects. Has anyone else experienced any serious side effects? I'm particularly worried about the ones that might affect my daily life, like trouble walking or changes in eyesight. I also noticed that some people experience low sodium levels. I'm going to monitor mine for headaches or seizures. If anyone has any tips or advice on how to manage these risks, I'd really appreciate it!
