| Add Carbamazepine review Since I started this my TN pain is gone, but I CAN'T BREATHE. My chest is tight all the time. My heart pounds. I had a bad rash for the first couple months which has slowly cleared but the sun brings it back. I have lupus which my idiot doctor knows. Apparently he doesn't know you aren't supposed to take this stuff if you have lupus. I can't wait to get off it. eliminates pain for long periods of time. Occasionally need to increase the dose when having pain after unusual stimulation as after dental work. I have been able to decrease the dose after a few days on the higher dose. | Add Carbatrol review very satisfied. Only in last 2yrs. my low sodium levels have become an issue causing equilibrium problems. Been taking 20yrs or more I am in my early 50's. The Dr. was upset at the sodium issue, however I was never informed this can ever be an issue. Have seen 3 or more Dr's over the years and not one has said this can be an issue due to this med. with the right amout of carbatrol the symptoms have almost totally subsided I have had focal seizures | |||
