what medications do you take? do they help?

Here are some meds to suggest to your doctor. There are all sorts of anticonvulsants and antidepressants, but a pain doctor I've seen recommended these. Klonopin - fast acting and works well on the burning pain. I've used it along with Ultram ER(works a LOT better than the regular and your pain doc should know that). Both baclofen and zanaflex are muscle relaxers which can also help with nerve pain. Remember that we all react different to meds but this should give you plenty to talk about. The Ultram ER and klonopin combo works fast as you don't have to wait for them to build up in your system. Let us know what you try and what works for you. Hang in there!

Hi there,
I have the same probs u have. i had tooth problems and i actually had dental work. and i thought it was my tooth and they determined prior to doing a third repeat root canal that it wasn't a tooth problem after all. I had TN. after a couple months and many meds later..

i'm still trying stuff out but i feel like i'm working pretty good on:

TOPOMAX - anticonvulsant
ULTRAM - Pain killer

those two combined i feel like are doing better for me.... im on low dosages at this point but i'm pretty sure soon enough i will go higher...

u and i are on the same boat. a lot of people get scared that its not TN or ATN coz of the pain in the teeth, but believe me, i've read more than enough, we're all in this together... u should also see a neurologist.. i suggest.... take care buddy!

ive tried carbamazepine and had an allergic reaction, and my doctor referred me to a different doctor to find a different regement of meds. Ive used loratab and flexeril together to help with the pain and to help me sleep. Ive also used tramadol, though it does nothing for me.

Hi,

I have lost four (4) healthy teeth's on the right side and today I am very angry about the dentist doing that with me. After that I was in situation that some doctors meant it is from my teeth but then I went regularly to make x-rays from all teeth’s and it was not the cause. My pains are on the bottom on the cheek holes and there is some very dry mucus. It is some kind of sinusitis, again coming from somewhere else. That means that the mucus is pressing into jaw bones and it looks like there are teeth pains. They are not.

I have also teeth and jaw bone pains, especially after eating something. I may not eat cold, hot, spicy or any kind of sour.

To me help pills with hydrochloride. They are muscle relaxants or for muscle spasm. I am taking since 4 years Ephedrine hydrochloride pills for decongestion of my mucus membrane, but they are not good for blood pressure. I had always low blood pressure and now have high blood pressure. I have to stop with them and find something else.
