I use a compound cream since I am very sensitive to medications like antiseizure drugs. I use a compound cream which give me a lot less side effects than the pill does. It is 6% gabapentin and I use it twice a day. When my left ear burns, I will apply at the back of neck. When my teeth hurt I will apply on face. My insurance will not cover any compound cream. So I pay $60 a month for it. It is worth it to me. I have done this for the last 5 year. I did have a MVD last February with Excellant results for severe stabbing and burning pain on the right side. My Artery had fallen on the trigeminal nerve after I fell and hit my head. I had to take pills when that happen. Some times I use salon pas,heat, ice, and occasionally capsicum cream. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.livingwithfacialpain.org/t/tn-2-pain-constant/17981)._
