Yeah Gabapentin…the snake oil of our time; anytime a malady can’t be addressed, that is the go to drug of choice.
Keep looking for an electro-physiologist or someone in that field. Drugs ate not the answer IMO as they treat the symptom, not the cause

Yes, but they help you live a normal life TILL you heal. 😉

It was the case for me and I am eternally thankful for that ! I was spared 7 years of needless suffering - that was how long it took for my lingual nerve to regenerate and heal.

BTW, I was prescribed tiny dose of Klonopin (off label since it slows nerve impulses as anti- convulsive ) and had my life back. Gaba caused me having "out of body experience" and was out of question. Took one and that was it - never again lol. I never used drugs in my life, not even a "joint" but I imagine that is what people on "real" drugs feel 😰.
