Is A Double Dose Of Carbamazepine Advisable For Trigeminal Neuralgia?
Hi I have been diagnosed as having trigerminal neuralgia. My doctor has prescibed carbamazepine, celecoxib and clonazapam. He has advised that I take 2 x 100mg cabanazapine at night and if I continue to feel pain I should take another 2 carbamazepine tablets. Is this advisable

The maximal dose of carbamazepine, when it comes to trigeminal neuralgia symptoms control, is 1200 mg/daily.
