All of the above. I have a bad bite and
Generalized Anxiety Disorder, which makes
you tense up your muscles. That's very
likely why you are dizzy. I do 2 things
that have helped enormously, I take
Cymbalta for anxiety, and I get massage
therapy for the muclse spasms. I have
tried EVERYTHING else under the sun and
that is what helps me. If you have
insurance, it will cover physical therapy
which inclues massage treatment.

yep--got that too--I can find a doctor for
you that will help with all this. the
insurance depends on the plan you have
--mine doesnt cover pt or massage--which
im really mad at cause i could really use
a massage

I have GAD and I am currently on Celexa.
I don't know what comes first but I get
jaw pain and anxiety. When the anxiety
goes away basically the pain does too
usually. I have heard the tmj issues
can be a result of anxiety. I am still
gong up on this med but and I hope that it
goes away. Also anxiety causes clenching
thus tmj pain. Flexeral has been
somewhat helpful but if the anxiety is not
under control then tmj pain will probably
continue.
