Other options: Nerve pain is typically not helped by pain medications. Typically, over-the-counter pain medications are the first option, such as ibuprofen. After that, medications used to treat nerve pain include gabapentin, cymbalta, tricyclic antidepressants, and lyrica (pregabalin). You would have to be evaluated by a doctor and if these are warranted, then they can be prescribed.
