Other than the side effects, how is it helping you? I know sometimes the side effects negate any benefit from the med in the first place.

at one point are you supposed to decide whether it’s working, or worth the side effects? Glad you had a good visit with your mom.

From what I understand, it could be 3-5 weeks before I start noticing a difference in the pain levels. This medication is specifically for my trigeminal neuralgia, which is the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. I really hate the side effects of the drug, but I’m willing to put up with them to see if it helps me. I probably shouldn’t operate any heavy machinery, though. It’s a good thing I don’t drive anymore. >.<
