bruxism may have sponta-neously resolved with continued use of venlafaxine, even without the addition of gabapentin. However, the improvement in bruxism and anxiety were clearly temporally related to ini-tiating this treatment. Larger controlled trials of gabapentin in patients with iatrogenic, and possibly idiopathic, bruxism are needed to Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is another potential side effect of Gabapentin. This involuntary grinding or clenching of the teeth can occur during the day or at night while sleeping. Bruxism can cause tooth sensitivity, jaw pain, headaches, and wear down the tooth enamel, leading to more significant dental problems over time. Chemical treatments for bruxism have also been developed. Research suggests that gabapentin may improve sleep quality and reduce teeth grinding and clenching in bruxism sufferers (Madani et al., 2013), but the drug carries side-effects. I have been taking 1500-1800mg Gabapentin for 10 days and it has magically decreased my clenching by at least 75%. My Jaw is now looser than ever and I don’t wake up as tight. My issue has always been extremely tense muscles around my joint. My joint structure and function have always been average. That is great that you found some relief. The authors describe a case of bruxism likely induced by the antidepressant venlafaxine and successfully treated with gabapentin. Case description: A case of bruxism, anxiety, insomnia and tremor is reported in a man with bipolar disorder that developed a few days after he initiated venlafaxine therapy for depression. The initial diagnosis of sleep bruxism is based on the diagnostic grading system proposed by Lobbezzo et al. [1••]: possible SB, based on questionnaires or the anamnestic part of the clinical history; probable SB, based on questionnaire and clinical examination; and definitive SB, based on questionnaires, clinical examination, and confirmed by PSG or portable EMG or audio-video recording. Reversible dysphagia due to gabapentin-induced jaw myoclonus Chin Med J (Engl). 2019 Jun 20;132(12):1485-1486. doi: 10.1097/CM9.0000000000000271. Previous reports on gabapentin-induced myoclonus are usually multifocal (ie, occurs asynchronously in at least two limbs). Other medications that may induce jaw myoclonus include cefepime. From the literature, gabapentin-induced myoclonus is self-limiting. On Feb, 26, 2016: 37,299 people reported to have side effects when taking Gabapentin (Neurontin). Among them, 48 people (0.13%) have Teeth Grinding And Clenching. Benzodiazepines are widely prescribed for a variety of conditions, particularly anxiety and insomnia. Summary: Bruxism is reported as a side effect among people who take Gabapentin (gabapentin), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for 1 - 6 months also take Ambien, and have Narcolepsy. Bruxism is a repetitive jaw‐muscle activity characterised by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible. It can occur during sleep, indicated as sleep bruxism, or during wakefulness, indicated as awake bruxism. Bruxism is a common stereotyped movement disorder characterized by repetitive clenching of the jaw and grinding of the teeth. 1 Sleep bruxism is associated with sleep arousal, and is characterized by lateral teeth grinding. Patients often complain of jaw pain and trismus upon awakening, and bed partners often witness or hear grinding during Bruxism is an umbrella term under which fall different motor activities of the jaw muscles, including clenching or grinding of the teeth and thrusting of the mandible [7]. To explain SSRI-induced bruxism, it has been hypothesized that increased serotonergic action on the mesocortical neurons arising from the ventral tegmental area causes a How SSRIs can Trigger Teeth Grinding and Bruxism. By James Fricton DDS, MS. Research surfaces the surprising link between using antidepressants and teeth grinding. What it means to use muscle relaxers for TMJ. Bruxism is a common jaw movement disorder characterized by repetitive clenching of the jaw and grinding of the teeth. We summarize the clinical features and treatment of antidepressant-associated bruxism and associated jaw pain through a systematic review of case reports. Recent findings Antidepressant-associated bruxism may occur in pediatric and adult patients, most commonly among female patients. Previous reports on gabapentin-induced myoclonus are usually multifocal (ie, occurs asynchronously in at least two limbs). Other medications that may induce jaw myoclonus include cefepime. From the literature, gabapentin-induced myoclonus is self-limiting. Caution: Gabapentin and pregabalin are associated with some adverse effects (dizziness, blurred vision, drowsiness, etc.) but otherwise are generally considered safe. Other anticonvulsants may have more common and significant adverse effects and you should discuss these with your clinician. Gabapentin was prescribed to this patient on the basis of literature reports of efficacy in treating anxiety15,16 and mood symptoms.17,18 Some data suggest an association between bruxism and anxiety or stress.19-22 Occlusal guards are a commonly used treatment for bruxism.3 However, for patients who continue to complain of tooth or jaw pain, or A systematic review of bruxism and serotonergic antidepressants such as SSRIs and SNRIs shows that fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), and venlafaxine (Effexor) are the most commonly reported antidepressants with the teeth clenching side effect.
