What is the best medication for trigeminal neuralgia aside from tegretol?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
There are a number: Gabapentin and Trileptal are common. Clonazepam, Dilantin and Baclofen are less effective. Some a combination of these meds are used.

Trileptal: Trileptal as well as Gabapentin have been used with success plus they tend to have lesser side effects.
