I had carbemazapene for trigeminal neuralgia. I could tolerate 200mg, but any more left me sick and dizzy.

I think Pregabalin is supposed to have less side effects?

I think all these drugs are used as a diagnostic tool as well? If you respond well to the drug, then your pain is a malfunctioning nerve - if the pain persists through the drug, then it may be something else.
