jaw tension, tension headaches

Posted by JohnX2 on November 17, 2001, at 2:31:51


For those of you experiencing
jaw tension on SSRI's, here is
my list of anti-dotes:

Stuff I tried that worked (and why):

- Serzone (5ht-2a antagonist)
- Zyprexa (5ht-2a antagonist)
- Adderall (dopaminergic)
- anti-histamines (high dose of benadryl,
average dose of chlorpheniramine maleate)

Stuff potentially recommend
(I haven't tried, or tried and
might work but didn't)
- Baclofen
- Buspar (probably due to anti-serotonergic
firing properties)

I'm not quite sure why I got relief
from the anti-histamines, but I have a
background theory.

I would be curious is anyone having
jaw tension took a double dose of
the anti-histamine chlorpheriamine maleate
and reported back on the results.
It would work quickly the same day if it responded.
Make sure to check for drug interactions.
For some reason this one cures pain in my
face and also lifts depression really fast.

Anyone else with insights on this
issue please share your thoughts.

BTW I wouldn't expect dopaminergic meds
that stimulate dopamine receptors like
Mirapex or Bromocriptine to help as the
problem lies with dopamine neurons that are
modulated by serotonin receptors. These dopamine
neurons do not contain auto-receptors, etc,
and are quite unique to primates.

Still not quite sure how the anti-histamines may
indirectly tie in (have a little bit of a
theory), this was just a weird personal
observation.
