I actually saw my GP today, and she's prescribed me Clonazepam for my pains long term. I also have TMJ and Multiple Sclerosis playing into the TN/ATN fiasco, and I don't have a secondary medication.

My GP actually said she thought about my situation and that the Clonazepam at 1mg daily (or .5mg if I don't need 1mg) long term may not be a bad idea for me in my situation.

I asked about a pain specialist. Sadly, there's 1 available here. Apparently he's excellent. Apparently there is also a waiting list 2-3 years long to see him .
