I don't know much about the type of pain TMJ causes, like could you use a muscle relaxant instead of painkiller?
I wonder if it would be of value, if you have to be on painkillers, to switch the type you take. Like hydrocodone (my personal favorite) and next refill or next week be on something else (like codeine (ick), darvon, darvocet, percodan, etc.). For my oral surgery my dentist gave me Vicoprofen, could be another version of Vicodin so may not help much if you just go from one version to another.
I take hydrocodone but only for cramps, so I probably don't use enough long enough for withdrawal.
Good luck.
