Hi John, I am mainly concerned about Gabapentin and if it's a drug that others for Trigeminal Neuralgia. It's a scary diagnosis. Thank you, Joan

"Newer drugs such as gabapentin, pregabalin, topiramate, levetiracetam, and botulinum toxin-A are promising and effective with fewer side effects, better efficacy, ..." -- Update on neuropathic pain treatment for trigeminal neuralgia: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4727618/

It can be a scary thing when you receive a diagnosis. Here's some information on Parotid Duct Obstruction that may be helpful - https://www.cedars-sinai.org/health-library/diseases-and-conditions/p/parotid-duct-obstruction.html. Did your neuro ear doctor offer any suggestions to try?
