Hi @saito720, In the Connect forum we’re not medical professionals so we can’t diagnose medical conditions or prescribe medications. However, we can use our experiences to offer ideas and answer questions. That being said, I’m a retired dental assistant with 32+ years of experience with general dentistry, oral surgery and extractions.

How long ago did you have your wisdom teeth removed? Usually there shouldn’t be a need for regular dosing of pain meds after a few days. Are you still in a fair amount of discomfort? Were these surgically removed...closed with stitches?

You mentioned you were prescribed pills for pain management. Were these the ibuprofen? Or something stronger? Looking at drug interactions, there is a correlation between taking Prozac and Ibuprofen with bleeding issues. So it would be best to stop taking them.
Do you have any Tylenol? That is a different class of drugs and appears to be a safer alternative to the ibuprofen. However, from searching drug interactions it should be taken at the smallest possible dosage. A quick phone call to a pharmacist would confirm whether that’s a safe medication for you to take or they can give you other alternatives.

I hope you feel better soon! Warm compresses (warm washcloth) can help with the jaw/muscle discomfort.

About 4 days ago, the pain is probably the worst today. I seem to mainly have pain only in the bottom right of my mouth.
