Neuralgia/Shingles: Postherpetic neuralgia is pain that lasts for more than a month after a shingles infection occurred. The pain may last for months or years.Anticonvulsant drugs, usually used for seizures, may help with the pain of damaged nerves. Gabapentin and Pregabalin are the ones most often used to treat postherpetic neuralgia.
