I guess Im sadly coming to the realization now, that this is probably not going away. I thank you for your thoughts on tooth pain and med discontinuation or not. I must admit the thought of going off the neurontin is scary because I still have pain with it, but not close to the pain I had without it. Im curious if the situation of many in this forum, ie continually increasing and changing meds secondary to increasing pain, is typical for TN or, are the folks in this forum just hurting more than most with this disease? Any thoughts out there? Im very sure I will brief my dentist. Its unfortunate that so many people have so many teeth pulled only to have the same pain anyway. Im sure, undiagnosed with TN, I would be begging my dentist for relief. Thanks again EE. Don
