Chronic Tension Headache?

For the last 90 days, I have had a strange headache that feels like a vice around the back of my head and neck. It's not brutal pain but certainly discomforting. I have been to my doctor three times and he has prescribed everything from antidepressants to aspirin with caffeine. Nothing, including aspirin or pain relievers, seem to work. The pain extends to my neck and feels sore like inflammation. Next Monday, I'm going to a neurologist who is allegedly a headache expert. I'm perplexed by all of this. I don't feel depressed but admittedly am in the most stressful stage of my career. Perhaps that's it. The only thing that works is a few drinks. I drink a few beers and the pain does subside. Regardless, I had to join this forum to see if I'm crazy or if anybody has any advice for me.

The last few weeks I have been to the neurologist twice and had an MRI on my head completed. The film showed no problems with my head. The neurologist told me that I have occipital neuralgia. I have been prescribed 25mg of indocin three times a day which is supposedly an inflammatory. He also gave me neck exercises to do a few times a day as well as suggesting that I get neck massages as well. I go back to see him in a month. Does anybody out there have any familiarity with occipital neuralgia?
