Hi Julie,

I have Occipital Neuralgia, but I haven't tried Neurontin. I have tried a few other meds, but they all had bad side-effects for me, especially Topamax!
Amitriptyline helped a bit with the nerve pain, but I was sleepy all the ime.
The best treatment I have found is a nerve block, and it has worked well for me. I've had 2 nerve blocks and the last one has lasted almost 2 months so far. I never want to go back to the other meds!
