I've tried Lyrica which is similar and it did nothing but make me feel loopy but didn't touch the pain. The only thing that has helped is a beta blocker called Bystolic and Klonopin at night to help me sleep. I'm on predisone now for 2 weeks then on to Celebrex for 2 more wks. If that doesn't help- surgery. ---

I'm taking amitriptyline, which works at low doses for nerve pain. It has helped a lot; I can get some sleep now, before I didn't get much. Some days I still get the neuralgia pain/ constant toothache, but on the whole it's helped. ---

I just recently tried nerouton/gabapentin and it did help my nerve pain in my throat and ears. However, the side effects were so bad I had to stop taking it. Side effects were limb twitching, chest pain, sweats, anxiety, numb arms and tingling and chest tightness. I felt like I was falling apart. ---

Tried neurontin. It did NOTHING. Now on Tegretol and it has saved my life!! I noticed relief within HOURS of my first dose (4 mos ago). I recently had to increase the dose and still have occasional flare ups but I'm pretty sure I can't live without this stuff.
