I am not a medical professional so am hesitant to post as this is a serious topic, but here is my experience.
I am a person who is fortunate to never get headaches. A couple months ago, I had level 10 pain on the right side of my head-very targeted at the top, near the ear and at the jaw. Went to the ER where CT scan was performed and nothing noteworthy found. Neither trigeminal neuralgia nor occipital neuralgia totally line up as positive diagnosis. Muscle relaxer prescribed as well as ES Tylenol and ibuprofen but none of this touched the pain. PCP prescribed carbamezapine and it worked for me. Gradually weaned off but I am still fine.
This is an anti seizure anti psychotic drug used off label to “settle nerves” and is considered a serious drug. I feel for those of you suffering from head pain and hope you get some relief.
