Suggest Treatment For Cervical Dystonia

I have cervical dystonia. I have had dystonia since 2011. I currently get botox injections every three months; however the wear off after two months. I am a middle school principal and have to talk to many parents every day. Sometimes the pain is so severe that it is difficult if focus on the conversation. I can not take muscle relaxers as I feel I am in a daze when I take them. Any suggestions?
