You can get the Robaxicet at any pharmacy, OTC in CA?
I was just talking to my boyfriend and he said that I was grinding my teeth in my sleep before starting the Effexor. So, I guess it has always been a problem. But Taking a muscle relaxer at night would be the best for me anyway as it seems I grind at night mostly. Cause if I can that would be best. I don't want to have to wear a mouth guard everynight... I just wouldn't remember or fall asleep first.

It tends to make you drowsy during the day, so chew gum during the day and take Robaxicet at night, and you should find yourself, and your mouth, feeling better. You should be able to find it OTC at any pharmacy.
