I'm so sorry to hear this, Carolann. I had a bout with migraine/trigeminal neuralgia this fall so I understand how miserable facial pain can be. It seems to be mostly under control now. I ended up trying several meds to try to treat it. I got relief from some inpatient IV meds, and continue to take max doses of Neurontin, a muscle relaxant, and as much ibuprofen or naproxen as my stomach can handle. I also use imitrex and Tylenol-3 p.r.n. Tricyclic ADs can help as well. I hope this is useful and your M.D. starts treating you better ( in both senses of the word).
