In reply to Celexa/Wellbutrin -- Gnashing Teeth, Jaw Pain, posted by Simcha on January 8, 2002, at 7:24:48
I've been reading about all of the options for this problem.
I'm leaning toward Klonopin only because it seems to work fast and it is shown as very efficacious for this problem.
Buspar seems to take 4 weeks and then it is a crap shoot as to whether or not it will work.
My fear is that if I ask my pdoc about Klonopin, he might see me as a possible "druggie." I want the most effective treatment possible. I want to be able to eat without pain again.
Does anyone have any suggestions.
Please help. :-|
