HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are other medications that you can try for neuralgia (nerve related pain).
Most of the medications for this type of pain were originally only used for depression or seizure disorders but it has been found that these types of medications work well for persons who have no history of either of these conditions.
Examples are lyrica, gabapentin, tegretol, amitriptyline
You can try one of these medications to see if your pain can be reduced.
I hope this helps
