what helps trigeminal neuralgia best, ive been prescribed amitriptyline
Hi,
I am also taking Amitriptyline for TN and I'm finding it works well, but I am also taking Pregabalin too. My GP said if I hadn't have already been taking Pregabalin, that is what he would have prescribed for TN and said that if the combination of Pregablin and Amitriptyline didn't work, he would prescribe Carbamazepine.
What dosage are you on? I'm taking 10mg at night, but also taking 250mg of Pregabalin a day.
Isn't the Amitriptyline helping or are you just starting them? I found they helped me within a few days.
