In reply to Theory re:Headache or C2-3,3-4,4-5,5-6 Aggravation, posted by Fivefires on February 12, 2007, at 17:30:10
SSRIs can cause muscle tension in some people. I invariably get tense neck muscles which cause a tension headache as well as jaw pain. Any SSRI will do it to me.
I think in people who have preexisting cervical issues, any tightness in the paraspinal muscles, in particular, can cause problems.
Another SSRI may work better for you, however.
Good luck.
