> I am also VERY interested in the help provided to teeth clenchers. My Boyfriend woke me up sevral times last night telling me I was grinding my teeth so hard he thought they would break. I never notice it but can feel the pain in my jaw in the morning. I would just get a mouth guard but my jaw hurts so bad I would rather just get rid of the problem all together. if anyone has ANY suggestions, I am up for anything!

>I had something similar. I didn't clench my teeth - instead I tightened the muscles in my neck and shoulders, causing intense, chronic pain. This happens on Prozac, Celexa, Lexapro and Zoloft. I was on Prozac for 8-9 years and it never went away. I didn't know it was from the AD or I'd have stopped the Prozac long before I did.
The weird thing is, when I switched to Effexor it completely stopped. Also, Paxil didn't cause this effect for me.
