Diclopram (diclofenac + omeprazole) pills. I took them for two weeks. Diclofenac helps in the case of an acute bout (which I had), but it's not suitable for long-term taking. Long term I'm not taking anything (besides antidepressants, which I have to take to the end of my life because I have had chronic depression since my late teens, but I guess they may help my TMJ as well. Since I'm on antidepressants, I've rarely had TMJ pain, a few times in 20 years, perhaps).
