I recently started taking Carbamazepine 100mg ER Capsules for my trigeminal neuralgia, and I've been experiencing some side effects. Has anyone else had similar issues? I'm curious about what others have gone through and how they managed it. I've read about the potential for severe side effects, but I'm more interested in hearing about the common ones and how to mitigate them.

I've been taking Gabapentin 300mg once daily for about three months now to manage my postherpetic neuralgia. It's been a game-changer in terms of reducing the burning and shooting pain, but I've also experienced some side effects that I'm trying to navigate. Has anyone else had similar experiences? How did you deal with the side effects? Specifically, I've been feeling pretty drowsy and dizzy at times, and I'm curious if this improves over time or if there are strategies to mitigate these issues.
