Hi,

I have chronic myofacial pain. Can you
describe your symptoms? Are they tension headaches?
Any bruxism (jaw tension/teeth grinding)?
Cluster/Migraine type headaches?

If they are tension headaches and bruxism
I may be able to give some recommendations.
I understand how these can be med induced.

> I have suffered with depression for nine years. For the first six years I had reasonable success with firstly Prozac and then Effexor, both of which I could take without adverse effect. Three years ago my doc decided that I should try combining Effexor and Remeron. That was the worst thing I could have done. I took this combination for a month before stopping it due to the severe headache "pains" that it gave me. Since then I cannot tolerate any medication. The lowest dose of any drug gives me severe headache side effects. However, the problem does not stop there. My brain is now so sensitive that even paracetamol makes me feel absolutely awful in the head. My psychiatrist is now sending me to see a professor who specialises in the effect of antidepressant medication. I would like to hear from anyone who has experienced similar effects from this combination of drugs.
