I see my psychiatrist next Wednesday. I'll try to be a little active to keep testing some side effects. If they continue into Wednesday, I'll call my GP later that day. I'm also thinking of taking 0.25 mg Ativan every other day instead of 0 mg to see if that has any effect.

Yeah, I had that with traveling pain, although it was never from top to bottom. It was only left and right, between the ear and my tooth. No idea why it traveled that way, but I ultimately got a root canal to solve the issue. And for some weird reason, the root canal didn't hurt at all, neither during the procedure nor afterwards. Not an ounce of pain and no pain meds. The only thing that was sore was my jaw from being open for so long. I was awake the whole time, too.
So maybe if you ultimately need a root canal, it hopefully won't be too bad. Just a little cap on the tooth and all set. Pain gone.
Obviously no one wants a crown OR a root canal, but it is what it is. If that's what takes away the pain, then so be it. I'll do it again if I ever cross that road again. 0 regrets.
