In reply to Jaw Clenching meds, posted by girl1969 on January 16, 2004, at 22:37:21
I had this teeth clenching even before medication. It got worse when I started Celexa 40mg. I was actually biting my tongue and my cheeks so much they bled.
My pdoc then started me on klonopin 1mg at night to stop it. It worked for over a year. The current pdoc has given me Neurontin 600mg and up to take a night to control it. This works too...
I'm on Celexa 40mg, WellbutrinXR 300mg, and Neurontin 600+mg. (I can take more Neurontin if I need it.)
