My Trigeminal Neuralgia was the second MS relapse I suffered in 1987. (The first was sensory deprivation in my hand in 1986). There was an extremely sharp pain in my right cheek, and my speech became slurred.

Tegretol calmed both symptoms down very effectively within minutes of taking it. After 3 months I was able to wean off the medication completely.

34 years later I still haven't had a recurrence, and hope I never will.

I am suffering from TN as you write. On 150mgs twice a day of pregabalin. MS nurse and Gp say they will review next week.
