Should I try to be put onto another medicine (hoping that it helps as well) or just continue to deal with the ongoing side effects? It's bad diarrhea...every day. Miserable.

Does anyone here have any experience with this illness?
Hello, I have TN 2 (constant pain to some degree or another.) I have had it 21 years, tried many treatments. Right now I wear transdermal opiod patches and take tegretol. My inactivity because of the pain makes me depressed, and a lot of the time I can’t give a clear reason; I am depressed and afraid a lot. Like most people with TN, I would appreciate guidance on fighting back.

Thanks,
Rubytoo
