Is this Occipital Neuralgia?

I have had a burning sensation on my head (all over my scalp) for two months.  Have seen two different neurologists.  The first said it was chronic tension headache, put me Prozac which caused the burning to spread head to toe.  Stopped seeing him, in the meantime my internist has put me on Neurontin (currently at 800mg tid, on fourth week of meds) and burning is back on head only.  Saw another Neuro yesterday who said it's Occipital Neuralgia and put me on Indocin for two weeks only, remaining on the Neurontin.  All tests have been negative (MRI, evoked potentials, EEG and bloodwork).  Does this sound like Occipital Neuralgia?  I can't find any info that associates it with a bilateral burning sensation.  I'm a 35yo healthy female.  Thanks for any insight.
