I didn't respond when I first saw this thread, but now I feel compelled.
Zoloft used to be my "drug of choice" before switching to the one I'm on now. One thing that I noticed about Zoloft is that it raised my muscle tone a bit in general. If I laughed at a joke and slapped the top of my leg I'd elicit a full blown knee-jerk response! Having brisk deep-tendon reflexes was definitely not my norm. -- but that's how I was on Zoloft. Jaw clenching was another thing that came to my attention while on Zoloft, but, I now know that I had a malocclusion that was causing TMJ problems. Was I clenching my jaw before Zoloft? Maybe. But it came to my attention while on Zoloft because I think my increased muscle tension in general was making that particular symptom much worse and much more noticable. I do not think it was EPS. I don't think it was anything dangerous. I think it was just another annoying side-effect.
