I myself had a condition called geniculate neuralgia. Felt like someone was sticking an ice pick in my ear - without any warning. The Neurontin is often taken up to 3600 per day. The post which mentioned a tricyclic is an excellent suggestion. Ask your doc. Elavil (amitryptyline) would be a good start. It is sedating, but better than the pain. If you and your dr. choose this route, you should see a reduction with the sedation factor on the Elavil (as with most TCA's). As you have found out, Neurontin makes you sleepy as well. I hope all works out, blessings.
