Certain meds, such as tegretol and trileptal, also cause hypoNAtremia.

You are not nearly as sad as I am!
It has been about 3 weeks now, and it most likely means the Teflon pad they inserted during the brain surgery has moved, exposing the nerve to a short circuit from a blood vessel.
Right now, I am 1/2 zombie as I take the Trileptal to counter the extreme immobilizing electric shocks in my face. Still exploring options, which might include another brain surgery!
It will not subside, it will only get worse.
