Sadly most of the medications which help TN pain need some time to build up in your system before you start to realize any pain relief. Try calling your doctors office and asking them if there is something that they can prescribe to give you relief sooner as opposed to later.

they now given me amytriptoline , take before i go to bed 1 a night to start off , tried it and taken neurofen inbetween , but i think the pain is making me take to many , i hate tablets but what else can i do ?

Get yourself a pill dispenser, one that has a compartment for each day of the week and fill it with the days allotment of pills. At least it will keep you on track as to how many you take each day and prevent you from overdoing it. These meds can cause serious problems if you take too many/few at a given time. Please read up on them and keep yourself informed about them.
