Noah,

Its Trigeminal Neuralgia.

They need to start you on Tegretol. The reason the other meds didn't work is because it doesn't work for nerve pain.

Hope you feel better.

What did the doctors tell you about the pain? Did they have lab exams conducted on you? If not, its best to seek opinions from other doctors.
