I was recently prescribed Carbamazepine 300mg ER Capsules for trigeminal neuralgia. I've been taking it for a few weeks now and have experienced some side effects like dizziness and drowsiness. I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience and how you managed it. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm on the same dose for epilepsy. It's been a game-changer for my seizures, but the dry mouth is horrible. I've started using a humidifier at night, and it helps a bit.

I've had a similar experience with the dizziness. It's like walking on a boat deck for the first few days. I took it as directed and it significantly reduced my trigeminal neuralgia pain. I'd suggest sticking it out for a few weeks to see if it gets better.

I started taking Carbamazepine and noticed some weird vision changes. I was getting worried, but my doctor told me it could be a side effect. Since the vision changes are almost completely gone now. I'd still keep an eye on any severe symptoms because there are some serious side effects you should be aware of.

I've been on Carbamazepine for over a year now. I do recommend sticking it out for a bit, but if any of the more severe side effects pop up, call your doctor right away.

I've been on it for a while now. I do recommend talking to your doctor before trying any over the counter treatments for the constipation or dry mouth
