I’m on my 14th week of this medication. Starting my 2nd week at 40mg. I’m being treated for TMJ but over the past week the tightness in my jaw and neck has become worse.

Has anybody else experienced this?

      It has. Mornings are not so good but this is only my second week on 40mg. 

      I saw improvement on 30mg and my TMJ didn’t seem to be as bad. Just wondering if this is a side effect ?
