Carbamazepine causing lymph node swelling and liver enzyme spike?

Recently diagnosed with TGN and doctor put me on carbamazepine but since then I have had painful lymph node swelling and my liver enzymes have spiked. My neurologist insists it’s not related to the medication, but I haven’t changed anything else and all tests for infections and inflammation have come back negative. Anyone else have issues with carbmazepine? What medication works for you?

Firstly I was tried on pregablin. It was awful. I was walking around like a zombie. Felt like I was not in this world. Fell asleep at the wheel but luckily had someone with me. Didn't even help the pain. The first Dr thought I couldn't have amytripteline as I take anti depressants but 2nd Dr said I can on the dose. I have now been on 20mg amytripteline for over a year and apart from occasional flare up the pain is managed. Hoping you find what works for you🙏I know how tough it can be.
