Hypersensitive Reaction To Tegretol

I have trigeminal neuralgia and will need to change medication (been on Gabapentin for 11 yrs) since it is not working well for pain control. I am HLAB 27 positive and per drug info on tegretol usage: anyone who is positive for HLAB 1502 or HLA 3101 will develop steven johnson syndrome which creates an emergency situation leading to hospital admission. I ask if anyone has experience with tegretol usage leading to such a reaction? I plan to be evaluated for both conditions.

I finally found a MD who has been helpful in diagnosing and treating my problem without usage of tegretol. I hope no one else has to deal with this issue.
