Hi Elizabeth,

Based on my research, there are studies indicating that Baclofen is reported to be useful for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.

References:
1). ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6372646
2). ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6201366

However, as with starting any drug, there's really no telling whether or not you'll experience some possible side effects as well. So that may also be something to keep in mind if you haven't had any complications arise with Gabapentin in order to better compare the two options.

I hope this helps!
