I have TN since October. This is my third bout with it. I am 75 and taking 300mg ox carbamazepine and 300mg Gaby once a day and 150mg ox carbamazepine one a day. My question…will it ever go away?

I guess it would depend on the underlying cause. The medications treat the pain, not the cause. Have you had the special MRI to see if a blood vessel is impinging the nerve?

I have all three trigeminal nerve branches acting up on my left side and at least a few random TN flare ups recently on the right side but no definitive diagnosis. I am not happy that my condition is expanding to become bilateral.
