steroid infusions have helped me with TN and occipital
neuralgia. I take lyrica (300 mg) and gabapentin (900 mg) both, with percocet
for breakthrough pain. I'm also exploring acupuncture as a treatment, though this is very new.
My biggest problem with the anti-seizure drugs is that I feel like my body acclimates to them pretty quickly, so I'm constantly upping the dosage.
Sorry to hear about your pain. I know how you feel.
