She's really suffering. Any knowledge would be very hopeful!

I used to grind my teeth in my sleep really bad when I was on Zoloft, like I woke my mom up in the other room it was so loud. I would always be clenching my jaw really tight when I woke up. I wasn't on an AP then, I'm sure they could probably cause it too though
