Neuralgia - What medication really works?
Question:
Whilst he has had some slight relief from the spasms he is still getting them on a regular basis and wakes in the night (when he sleeps) in terrible pain.does this drug take long to work? - only had a few days.
Is there anything else we can try to relieve the symptoms (no wisecracks please) he has never suffered like this before.
Your help appreciated
Answers:
Neurontin is an excellent medication for nerve pain. How ever it doesn't work instantly. I would also ask the doctor about prescribing a muscle relaxer. Baclofen is usually given when nerve pain is involved. Hope this helps
Neurontin or Depakote.
honestly i would recommend undertaking a gentle yoga class.
i believe this is the best response to neuralgia.
Are you certain it is neuralgia? I was told I had it several years ago, but after about a week and a visit to my dentist it turned out to be an abcess on my wisdom tooth coming through. The pain was in spasms too, but you couldn't see anything initially. Pain with an abcess can be excruciating.
Best of luck, hope you can sort it out.
