Also you may want to switch to the extended release version of Carbamazepine, lots of seizure patients do better on it. The blood level is more stable. However I’d get off if your not getting any noticeable relief. Neurontin/Gabapentin or
Lyrica/pregabalin which are probably the most frequently prescribed medications for nerve pain May be the most effective.
The following drugs may possibly be effective. Lamictal/Lamotrigine, Phenobarbital, Klonopin/clonazepam, Depakote/valproic acid, Topamax/topiramate (Lots of Epilepsy patients call this Dope-a-max) and Gabitril/tiagabine. Personally I wouldn’t take any of these last ones but who knows what may be effective for you.
Best of luck,
Jake

Hi, @vradifegari - I wanted to add my welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

@jakedduck1 - which of the lamotrigine, phenobarbital, clonazepam, valproic acid, topiramate or tiagabine for nerve pain would you not take personally? Have you had problems when taking some of these?
