Options for treatmen: The medications that you describe are good medicines and standard treatment for the trigeminal neuralgia. If this has worked for 20 years, this is pretty good. If these are not working or you want to explore other options, check with your neurologist--there are newer medications. Also, you can check with a neurosurgeon about microvascular decompression or gamma knife radiotherapy as options.
