Saturday night the pain was unbearable. I now know why people commit suicide with TN. I was on 1800 mg of neurontin and had a pain free day until about 9 pm. Every time I blinked my right eye I had unbearable pain on my right side of my face. I did not know what to do. It is obvious that the neurontin does not work for me. I went back on the tegretal Saturday night till I can talk to my doctor on Monday morning. I just woke up now and when I move my face I am starting to get pain early in morning. I pray I can make it thru the day.
