Suggest Treatment For Trigeminal Neuralgia
Hi, I am a nurse, & my sister has trigeminal neuralgia & is being treated long term with Carbidopa. In a 6 month period she has had 2 episodes of what sounds like dyskinesia of some sort. The R arm & R leg jerking uncontrollably, lasting 30+ seconds. She is now complaining of a pins & needles feeling along with some burning to the bottom of her feet. Also she complains of numbness on the side of her calf. Would Neurontin be a better choice for tx for the neuralgia

as far u had given diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia, but u are taking treatment of parkinson disease, thats why u had side effect of drugs,. so stop these drugs and try carbamazepine.
