Elavil, is that the drug being refrenced? If so, no, not yet. I'm so tired of the "God-like Specialists". They each have a different plan, and none take the time to explain the ramifications of the drugs they prescribe.
I'm also on Paxil 25 mg for depression/ anxiety, and xanax for panic attacks. Long-time problem.
I have bilateral burning/ aching in cheeks/ cheek bones. When pain reaches 6-7, my teeth throb as well. Pain is almost always present, and gets worse throughout the day. Had sinus surgery last year, no help. The bilateral thing really confuses the specialists...
