I had a throat tumor removed earlier this year and now have horrible nerve pain. My neurologist is playing "try the medication" game with me and insists on me trying a whole slew of stuff that doesn't appear to be working. My latest, amitriptyline, is at 50 mg and I take it every night. It makes me sleepy as hell all day long and driving is downright dangerous. To top it off, I still have severe pain and am taking twice the recommended amount of ibuprofen every 3-4 hours just to function.
Carbamazepine was a joke. Made my headaches worse. I just want the pain to stop.
