They make these things you can pop in between your teeth before you go to sleep that *prevents* your teeth from being ground together. I think they use it a lot for kids who are taking Ritalin or other stimulants that grind their teeth badly. I seen some at the pharmacy I go to. I don't know if you can sleep comfortably with them or not. That way you wouldn't have to take any additional meds or change the ones you are on. I am not sure it would be very helpful or not. Do you grind your teeth during the day, too? If so it is probably the Wellbutrin. Klonopin would help. Buspar hits a lot of receptors and might interfere with how your Celexa is working.Mitch
