From: Natural history and outcome of 200 outpatients with classical trigeminal neuralgia treated with carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine in a tertiary centre for neuropathic pain

Figure 1

Tolerability of Carbamazepine (CBZ) and Oxcarbazepine (OXC). Y-axis: number of patients that discontinued first treatment because of adverse events. X-axis: causes of discontinuation. Note that CNS disturbances affected far more frequently the patients on CBZ, whereas hyponatremia only affected patients on OXC. The sum of patients reporting somnolence, postural unbalance, and dizziness is higher than the total CNS disturbances because many patients complained of more than one CNS disturbance.
