MY TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA 20

I had a pain free day for most of yesterday, I even managed out for a couple of hours to take photographs at my favourite spot, the Ballast Bank at Troon. The pain didn't come to much over the course of the evening, just sharp jolts of pain lasting for a millisecond. On wakening this morning, the pain continued, again with the sharp jolts of pain lasting for very short periods. The problem with the pain in this form is that you have no confidence to do anything as you are terrified the short periods of pain will develop into full blown sustained attacks which are totally debilitating. Still on 1600mgs of Tegretol per day, starting to doubt if it is effective. How would I determine its effectiveness? Stop taking the medication and see if full blown pain returns. Not an option!!!
