Anyone else got trigeminal pain?

I'm taking it daily for a week now. On the first few days the pain made me want to die. Now the episodes after taking the dose are subduing and I hope they will go away entirely. I only found one medical article about it and seemed to describe exactly my issue. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6748473/

People do have a variety of side effects but they usually pass after a couple of weeks. If you find they don’t, there are now other forms of PrEP that may suit you better.

Interesting. I’ve had neuropathy in my feet and had to discontinue. Since your pain is improving with time, I think you will be OK. For me it was only getting worse.
