Default TN and medications

What's worked and what hasn't worked for you folk?

I've had both type 1 and 2 attacks of TN with my MS. I've tried several different medications.

Now I'm only taking a small amount of Clonazepam and Cesamet (Nabilone), and occasionally I get break-through pain or 'spells', but for the most part things have calmed significantly.

I have tried anticonvulsants and antidepressants off label for TN in the past, none with very great results, except for what I'm on now.

I know TN is different for everyone, and people respond well to different treatments. Just curious to hear what others have tried.
