I stumbled across an article about Lamictal and bruxism (teeth grinding), not realizing there is a link.
(excuse the upcoming rant) I struggle with moderate bruxism, having to wear a tooth splint (or whatever you call it) to prevent further damage. If this is the case, I will not take it lightly. No no absolutely not. I am pretty certain I told my pdoc about the teeth grinding. I am not trying to be stubborn, deliberate or difficult; having a couple of years lost due to the combination of both a mood disorder and OCD means that this is just another thing. I will not take any more crap. Lithium caused severe acne that took years to rectify, as well as constipation, jitters and dry mouth. Medications are not going to rule my life. I will not let a disorder rule my life, but I shall not let medications rule my life either. Question #1: what other medications from the list below could cause bruxism? Question #2: what possible treatments are there? I have read of muscle relaxants and even Botox injections along the jaw muscles to relax them. __________________ Tic-Tac |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
