My head pounded even after 800mg of ibuprofen. My jaw ached. The next day I felt like I'd been thrown against a wall.

So. Last resort. That's what I'm leaving it for. My therapist has some ideas, so I said, okay. Dunno what they are yet, but I'm near some major hospitals that do research so we'll see.

Sorry to hear that it was so bad. Right now our next step is to try MAOIs if this current set of meds doesn't hold. Right now they are fine but I am worried about 6-8 weeks from now because that is about when things start to hit the fan again. I am not sold on trying the MAOIs but if it is that or ECT I will give them a try.
