Sorry about your Trigeminal Neuralgia pain. I've never heard of that. It sounds rough.
I'd like to ask you how long it took for you to notice a difference with Emsam. It's been about 2 weeks for me, still down & crazy. My dr wants me to continue & if this doesn't work we could look into Vagus Nerve Stimulation, which he as never done. So obviously, I'm running out of options.
Although he seems to think that I if I exercise and plan "fun" things then things will get better. I probably exercise more than most people, and what is "fun"? I have social activities that I go to because I know its good for me. But nothing is fun for me damn it! That's part of what is wrong with me. Something is wrong with my pleasure mechanism. I have things that I am good at, but that doesn't mean I enjoy doing them. I have a "fun" birthday party tonight but I will still be contemplating death in the back of my head. -sorry for the venting.
