Trigeminal neuralgia

I was wondering how many other have this and what meds do you take. I take amitriptyline, gabapentin and baclofen and it just is not working. I've been taking this for about seven years.

  1. Hi 13dcibr! I am sorry you are dealing with this particular type of pain. I know it can be very uncomfortable and hard to treat. I do hope you get feedback from some of our members that have experience with trigeminal neuralgia. I thought you would appreciate this overview of types of pain people with MS may face and common treatments for those pains -- https://multiplesclerosis.net/symptoms/pain-chronic-pain/. Here is a personal story from one of our members about her experiences with trigeminal neuralgia -- https://multiplesclerosis.net/story/trigeminal-neuralgia-feel-pain/. I hope this information is helpful for you and perhaps gives you some new ideas/treatments to consider. Thank you for reaching out and good luck getting some relief! Best, Erin, MultipleSclerosis.net Team Member.
