In reply to Med to fight bruxism?, posted by sid on January 1, 2002, at 10:25:34
The dentist can make you a mouthguard. It costs about $200. Or you could try a mouth guard for bruxism from the drug store for about $10.
> I am taking Effexor XR - for 36 days now, and most side effects have subsided. However, the increased bruxism is still there and it is starting to bother me. I get headaches, which I believe are caused by it. And my teeth are not made of steel... I broke a tooth some years ago due to bruxism (non-medication related), so I'd like to avoid it if possible.
