marsha as i may not be of much help, your situation sounds identical to mine, three years running; trileptal has increased to 1200mx6 hours. The second neurolist confirmed trigiminal neuralgia, I have been patient going throughtout radiation,( gamma knigh) . I live daily with the dizzyniss forgetting depression, my family has been good, not talking about it because it hurts, I am working on ss, for the second time around because I tried to work for a while. but the unthinkable happend; I actually had 2 accidents no one was hurt, accept there was a fear that was left in me,and always be with me, so what ever it takes. MY PRAYS ARE WITH YOU.
