Default Atypical Facial Pain

After multiple doctor visits and tests to rule things out, I have been diagnosed with 'Atypical Facial Pain' and told there is nothing I can do but learn to control the pain.
I hurt almost all the time, can't sleep.....3 months of constant pain.
I'm on gabapentin, which makes me see double and feel dizzy and off-balance, but doesn't really take the pain away. It kind of makes my head feel numb. I also take .25 mg xanax 3 times a day; it seems to dull the pain.
I've used up my sick leave, but it's hard to work with the pain/drugs.

Also going to chiropractor and acupuncturist, but so far nothing has helped.

Any words of wisdom or suggestions?
