A Reuters article from 1/21/01 reports that Buspar relieves the symptoms of teeth grinding and headaches caused by SSRI's. This is according to Dr. John Bostwick of the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. Their findings were published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry 1999;60:857-860.
Although Remeron is not an SSRI, I'm sure the principal is the same. It's believed that Buspar controls dopamine.
> Hi...I just saw my pdoc and told him about the weight gain problem. He recommended taking Zantac with the Remeron. Have many others found that helps to reduce hunger? Also, my dentist says I've been grinding my teeth quite a bit. I guess, unfortunately, that's a common side effect of antidepressants. My pdoc recommended trying Busbar (antianxiety med, I think). He says it really helps with that side effect. However, I think I may have had head aches when I tried that med a long time ago. Could anyone share their experiences with Remeron +Zantac and/or Remeron +Busbar? Thanks a lot.
