Trigeminal neuralgia: What helps stop the pain?

Thanks for your kind thoughts. I took gabapenton for a while, but it did not work for me. I went through 4 more meds. which were not helpful for one reason or another and then we tried Pregabapenton 375 mg three times a say, and it worked. My pain is in my left lower jaw, and occasionally in the left upper jaw. Feels like a bad toothache. I have seen a dentist twice and now have a neurologist. When the jaw becomes sensitive I put some ambisole (baby teething medication on the gums). It really helps. I am now down to 250 mg twice a day. I had to reduce the amount. I was sleeping all day and all night. Hope maybe this may be of some help to you.

Thank you! i will copy down what you wrote and give it to my neurologist. i'm afraid to see a dentist now. i can barely talk or drink water.

sorry, I noticed an error in my previous comment,. I am taking 50 mg not 250 mg twice a day.
