1302779 tn?1287405029 Hello all i have dep/anxiety and i am on celexa along with low doses of klonopin and have been waking up in the morning with headaches. i know i have been "clenching" my jaw and bought a mouth guard from pharmacy sometimes helps but sometimes not. I know the clenchng is a side effect of celexa which i may be switching to cymbalta. Any input would be great Does anyone think a tmj dentist is the way to go?
17020225 tn?1455749597 I woke up two weeks after starting escitalopram and felt like I had been beaten in the jaw with a bat. Many hundreds of dollars later, MRI, pain meds, muscle relaxers, and arthrocentisis on both sides, I am now off escitalopram. I will never use it again. I was way more suicidal with chronic TMD than with regular old mood disorder!
Avatar m tn I stopped celexa again for throat surgery and this time when I stopped my jaw started pushing down and forward and I started making the full blown frowning of grimmicing. I also sometimes make a chewing motion. gets worse when i'm under stress and all goes away when I'm just getting ready to dose of to sleep. My doc says its impossible to get TD on such a small dose of serequel and he thinks I should go back on celexa as soon as this surgery stuff heals up enough. My question is...
1539379 tn?1294332115 that being said I am slowly weaning off the celexa very slowly and see if the klonopin will be enough. the jaw clenching especially at night is not fun. We are all different and hope it works for u!
Avatar m tn Its been awhile since I haven't woken up with neck pain in the top of the back part of my neck. I also suffer from horrible anxiety. 8 days ago I started 20mg of celexa and two after I developed a constant tremor in arms, legs, jaw, and head. It isn't a violent tremor and it's barely noticeable. I went to the doctor and he cut my dosage in half but I stopped taking two days ago of this fear I developed over the tremors. My mind is going crazy with thoughts about serious diseases.

358486 tn?1294776388 All the Med r the same more or less they help with depression and nerve pain. And for u ear and the load sounds. Maybe ur jaw is out of line. R u haven any face pain? U might have tmj.
1166402 tn?1303847056 I've looked up muscle pain and Celexa but could not find any info. I would like to know more about this so I can talk to my doc. I was starting to think I might have Fibromyalgia. But all the symptoms aren't there. Can I still feel all this (and some twiching-not much though) even when I feel normal. I had forgotten I had anxiety and then felt a twitch or was reminded by muscle pains and then off I go thinking about it all.
Avatar m tn I have had head aches on cipralex, and when I drink some or even more then some drinks I get almost sick with a head ache. 1) are head aches common in taking anxiety drugs, 2) any way preventing the head aches. 3) dry mouth is that common with these drugs.
Avatar n tn I have been on Celexa for at least 5 years, 1st on 20 mg and then 3 years ago upped to 40 mg. I would like to discontinue usage as I know I should not be on it this long. How do you suggest doing this?
Avatar f tn I think I do have anxiety everyday, it's just not as bad as it used to be. I was in bed for over a month, I think I was depressed also. I was reading about the exercise, I used to run 3 miles a day before my anxiety and now I can't even clean my house because it hurts so much, my arm, back, shoulder and chest and with the pain comes anxiety. Do you have any advise on how I could start up on my exercising without over doing it? I need to take off the 20lbs I put on!!

Avatar m tn CeleXa inhibits reuptake allowing more seratonin to be left in the synaptic gap causing the threshold for the nerves firing to be techniquelly less because less has to be delivered for the spark to occur since more is already there and available. I have smoked M. for 2 years and recently started CeleXa. The only thing ive noticed thus far is that I am less affected by the M. now that I am on CeleXa.
Avatar n tn Continued to take 40 mg celexa (ssri antidepressant) . 5 months ago I started dropping my jaw when stressed and focusing and concentrating. Doc said nothing to do with Celexa..go get looked at by family doc. I sceduled a septoplasty for sleep apnea and went under anestesia with no problems.
Avatar n tn I have frequent jaw pain, jaw numness and jaw that crack when I chew on something at some point. I saw a dentist lately and he told me that everithing is normal with my teeth an jaw on the x-ray. I also have pain in my ears due to that! My best guess whould be that it is a Chiari symptome.
Avatar f tn I felt like my vision was off center, I had shoulder pain, neck pain. sinus problems, and stuffy itchy ears,and feelings of being off balance. I was told its all in my mind ,but that was back some years ago. I eventually got an ortho who put me on a night guard.. i would grind my teeth so hard at night I cracked the dang thing! The night guard didnt seem to help me much, as I was just grinding, and biting on it. It might have saved some teeth, but didnt help my tmj in the least.
Avatar f tn t really know what the problem was with your Eustachian tubes, but clogged ears and sinuses can cause disorientation and vertigo, and that feels like anxiety symptoms. But anxious people are anxious thinking people, and that's why I ask if you were feeling anxious before this problem arose. If not, don't understand the celexa.
Avatar f tn I think it's very smart of you to have tests done. Yes, anxiety can cause many of the symptoms you have but it's best to know for sure. Have you tried an anti anxiety med? If so, did it help your symptoms? You may want to also see your dentist. I'm mentioning this because I was having a lot of jaw pain and headaches. My dentist told me he saw wear on my teeth and that I must be grinding them in my sleep. He made a mouth guard for me to wear at night.
Avatar f tn Once you learn that you have a controlling mechanism for your panic attacks, you will no longer fear them and you will get them less and less frequently. Celexa is more of an anti depressant, so it really won't bring you down if you get to the point of having a panic attack.
Avatar f tn I've been on Celexa, Neurontin, and Meloxicam for some time due to chronic pain, depression arthritis, and neuropathy. I've been reading a lot about DLPA and it says NOT to take it with SSRI's. Does anyone know whether I should stop taking the Celexa before I ever start taking Ithis supplement? I'm very anxious to give this supplement a try! My depression has gotten severe...to the point that NOTHING works anymore, I have no sex drive, feel hopeless, I have no motivation, etc...

Avatar n tn I started on Effexor 5 wks ago and was having trouble urinating and have ejaculation pain. Stopped the Efxxor after 3wks and went to Celexa. Have been on for 2wks and still have the problem. Has anyone had to strain to actually get the urine started were now i have straining pain in my groin. Plus delayed ejaculation?
Avatar m tn I would still get the flutter, pain, sweat, jaw, arm pains but they seemed to subside when I took the Xanax. Tying to sleep and lay on my back was the worst, I felt like my heart would be out of my chest. I am 26 now, will be 27 in July and decided that it was time for me to wean myself off of the meds. I did so slowly, and when I was finally off them, I started having the symptoms but worse.
Avatar f tn I am presently taking 150 mg Wellbutrin in the morning, 20 mg of Celexa (morning), 3 xanax a day and 20 mg of celexa mid to late afternoon. I do not know if this a side effect or not but my jaw tightens up and sometimes i have alot of blinking with my eyes. I do not know if it is Celexa because I have been on it for about 3 months. What can this be. Should I notify the doctor. Or wait till new change of pills take effect. ????????????????
Avatar n tn I was then sent to a TMJ specialist like your son who did jaw therapy which consisted of weird pulsing machines and a mouth piece. It seemed to help, but my headaches weren't completely relieved until I had braces put on later. Although, it sounds like your son has already been down these avenues. I'm not a Dr. but my guess would be that it has something to do with his jaw. Has he had x-rays of his jaw/teeth? Good luck!
Avatar f tn I should mention also that I have just come out of an acute bout of depression and anxiety (I have suffered from depression my whole life), and am on Lyrica, Celexa (generic), Acyclovir 400mg and Klonopin (1/2 mg 2x a day to control the jaw spasms). I take niacinimide, vitamin D, B12 and Magnesium. I have PKD which is, so far, asymptomatic (so I don't take calcium anymore) , am slim, don't smoke or drink. This is driving me crazy.
