Muscle spasms likely: Muscle spasms are being triggered by the drug withdrawal, dental problems, or both. A low dose muscle relaxant medication would help. Mechanical cervical traction in physical therapy could help greatly, and a home unit could be provided. Training in biofeedback with a therapist/psychologist also works well for muscle spasms.

Discuss with MD: Discuss this with your prescribing doctor, especially since the psychiatric drug has been withdrawn. Dental pathology can refer pain to the eye, ear, head and neck areas especially if there in an infection.
