Does anyone take this drug for trigminal neurolgia. I take gabapentin, 400mg (2 x3times a day). I am really suffering, so dr suggested taking baclofen (pacifen) as well. Anyone have any comments?

Well Baclofen is a muscle relaxant, so it does help if part of your pain is caused by muscle aches, sprains, or spasms.

the only way to really know it to try it for a few weeks and see if helps you.

As to the Gabapentin, some people get great results from it and some don't, it really only works for certain types of nerve pain, so it does not help everyone and it is not a pain reliever.

I suggest speaking to your doctor about it as if you have been on it for awhile with no luck, then it is time to switch and try something else.

Many doctor's are trying these types of meds because they are afraid to prescribe opiates and unfortunately many people are left suffering.
