My 92 year old father has trigeminal neuralgia. None of the newer drugs gave him relief but he got some relief for several years with amitriptyline. When that stopped working he had a gamma knife procedure which worked for 5 weeks. Find a doctor that thoroughly understands the magnitude of this syndrome.

I can relate.?I've had TN since June of 2016.
I start out on Gabapentin. Did not work.
Then Nortriptyline. Gave me relief for a couple years.
Then Lamictal, which gave me relief several years.
Now they've added Amitriptyline to the Limictal along with Baclofen.
Not working now !!!
Been a rough time....
