Antidepressants and anticonculsants are off-label use for your condition,for regulation of cns sensitization, which has nothing to do with depression and convulsion. Consultayion with neurologist is advised. With regard to implant placement, your surgeon can make the best judgement.
Thank you for the speedy response. Taking into consideration what you're saying about taking antidepressants, let's assume for a moment that it is neurological and I do not get on any prescription drugs. Then if it's "just in my head'/my nervous system so to speak, and I simply just continue to have only a faint throb occasionally & simply a tender spot under my nose, and the condition doesn't change, (which it hasn't for a few months now); then could we perhaps assume there is nothing "really physically or orally" wrong & just go ahead with placing the implants as scheduled for June? I'm going to discuss all this with my oral surgeon of course; but I'd like your opinion also of if it' was (just) neurological to just go ahead with everything & maybe it will all go away. I have a fairly happy life & do not want to not feel the need or wish to start any medications for depression or the sort. However, I do understand what you're saying in a way. That's why I'm asking, ok, let's assume it's that, you think I can go on with placing the implants? Thank you so much.
Based on the information provided, it appears that there are no oral soft tissue , hard tissue, nose, and sinus pathologies identified. I would think that might be the conditions known as hyperesthesia, dysesthesia, hyperpathia.
hyperesthesia: an increased sensitivity to stimulation,excluding the special senses
dysesthesia:an unpleasant abnormal sensation, whether spontaneous or evoked
hyperpathia:a painful syndrome characterized by abnormally painful reaction to a stimulus, especially a repetitive stimulus, as well as an increased threshold( increased threshold and increased response: stimulus and response are in the same mode).
These conditions are generally caused by central nervous system dysfunction. Management is pharmacotherapy.In my experience, Antidepressants,such as amitryptyline, or Anticonvulsants, such as gabapentin are effective. Seeing a neurologist is advised.
