Hi,

Yes, Epilim CR-200 can be effective for painful neuralgias. Based on the history you seem to be suffering from a painful nerve condition called trigeminal neuralgia, for which your GP prescribed Epilium CR-200 is primarily used in the treatment of generalized, partial or other types of epilepsy.

It is also found to be effective in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.

However, had I been your treating doctor I would have advised carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine to control the symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia which are actually the first line of treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
