YES! I clench my jaw all the time, especially at night. In fact, a dentist and a chiropractor both mentioned how messed up my jaw was (I think one of them said the muscles were "shattered" or something...obviously not literally shattered)
Anyway, I had never attributed the jaw clenching to the Effexor before ... I've been on SSRIs for several years now; it makes sense that I could have started the clenching when I started the meds. HOW INTERESTING!
I've been learning so much here...

I clench my teeth and I keep hearing a popping noise in my ears at night, when I go to bed. Does anyone else have this??? It got so bad that I cut back on my dose by 75mg, then I tried to get completely off it - what a mistake that was. I became so disoriented and dizzy that I had to go back on the meds.
