Aptiom Questions

Updated

I am on Aptiom for Trigeminal Neuralgia. Any info about side effects when Aptiom is increased. Now at 1200 mg. any info would be greatly appreciated. I think this is my last hope before going to narcotics which really doesn't work on this excruciating nerve pain. Already had two unsuccessful surgeries and was told no more. Thank you.Updaa

Hello, Mary! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in so much pain.

The side effects won't be different, when the dosage is raised, but you may experience them, again and they may be more intense than at lower dosages.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Aptiom as possibly including nausea, dizziness, tremor, double vision, headache and drowsiness.

Is there anything else I can help with?

My mum has that Trigeminal Neuro, I am soooo sorry. She has found that Tegretol works well and takes a small amount of Oxy at night. She is doing much better. She can't eat crunchy food but she's fine with it all.She never tried Aptiom though. Best of luck to you.
