P-doc prescribed Klonopin twice a day. My tongue is raw on both sides from me pushing my tongue up against my teeth. That's what I do when I am overly stressed.
I am really trying to pay attention to this and stop. I've done it since I was a kid but I've never hurt my tongue like this before.
There's usually blood on my pillow when I wake up because I "bear trap" at night. Meaning my jaw slams together and I end up biting the inside of my cheeks, my tongue, or my bottom lip.
I am hesitant about taking it because my whole family are/were addicts. And even though I "know" I won't let myself get addicted, it's still hard for me to swallow any type of "sedating" drugs. Just knowing my brothers would take handfuls of this stuff makes me nervous. Makes me feel like them.
