Hi everyone. I have an anxiety disorder and major depression. It's actually generalized anxiety disorder. This anxiety causes muscle tension in my head. Here is the weird thing.. when I took Excedrin Tension headache for the 2nd time, every muscle in my body began to spasm and my whole body loosened up. After this physiological change, my self-confidence boosted way up and the obsessive fears that caused anxiety before had almost vanished. My doctor says that this is impossible, but I know that something is going on and I would be ecstatic if I could find treatment for this... or even get an explanation.
Thanks, Krona

 Hi krona,
Anxiety and tension can cause a significant amount of pain in your neck and head. Headaches can make the anxiety and tension even worse. Medications affect people differently. If Excedrin Tension Headache works well for you and had that sort of benefit then that's great. I hope you continue feeling well :)
Sincerely,
Rntdj

So you think the muscle tension is probably making my obsessive fears (anxiety) worse?

Hi krona,
Anytime a person experiences pain it causes a certain amount of anxiety. Anxiety over what is causing the pain and how to decrease it. So yes, it certainly may be a contributing factor.
