Occipital Neuralgia
"Struggled with migraines and behind the ear neck pain for over 10 years. General doc thought migraines and tried various different meds, with no success. OTC analgesics didn&#039;t touch it, either. 

Finally saw a neurologist on the advice of my new general doc after my previous retired. He immediately diagnosed it as textbook occipital neuralgia and put me on Neurotin. 

I was better within a week. Still had some lingering pain on certain days so he doubled my dose, which was the minimum at the time for an adult. I&#039;m still on a super low dose and have a headache now maybe once every three weeks instead of 5 to 6 times per week."
