tnt, you're correct. it may be one of your meds. there is a concern when one has this jaw clenching relating to psychiatric meds. it could be “akathesia,”. another side effect

Long-term use of typical antipsychotic medications may lead to a condition called tardive dyskinesia (TD). TD causes muscle movements a person can't control. The movements commonly happen around the mouth. TD can range from mild to severe, and in some people the problem cannot be cured. Sometimes people with TD recover partially or fully after they stop taking the medication.

it would be wise to discuss this symptom ASAP with your pdoc.i'm certainly not a doc but had this symptom too. i was immediately changed to another med without that side effect.
hope this helps.
