This can be caused by excessive serotonin
blocking dopamine release via the 5ht-2
serotonin receptor junction.
antidotes:
Gabaergic meds:
-klonopin (works great)
-baclofen
Anti-serotonergic meds:
-buspar (mediates serotonin release)
-Serzone,Remeron,Zyprexa,more..(Basically
any med that blocks the 5ht-2 serotonin receptor)
good luck. the lockjaw sucks.

> 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.
