Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. I assume you are referring to trigeminal neuralgia (TN).

Carbamazepine is the drug of choice for treating TN. The dose can be 10-20 mg per kg body weight. So, assuming that your weight is 60 kg, you can safely take 600-1200 mg of carbamazepine per day in two divided doses.

Regarding neurobion forte, it is a safe vitamin. You can also take methycobal tablets, which have vitamin B12 supplement.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
