In reply to Re: Cel/Well Gnshing Tth, Jaw Pain Buspar or Klonopin? » Simcha, posted by Mitch on January 8, 2002, at 10:09:50
Thanks Mitch,
I also have restless legs during the day. I know they use Klonopin for that too.
Also, I think that a bite plate will not relieve the pain in my jaw. I do think it would stop me from biting my cheeks and my tongue. I'm just not sure that I could sleep with it in my mouth.
Thanks for answering. I know I can talk to my pdoc. He listens well. I've been reading about other possible treatments too:
Sinemet
Neurontin
Clonazepam
Buspirione (This one could interfere with the Celexa as you said so I'm even less sure about this one)Thanks for responding!

I think they use it a lot for kids who are taking Ritalin or other stimulants that grind their teeth badly. I seen some at the pharmacy I go to. I don't know if you can sleep comfortably with them or not. That way you wouldn't have to take any additional meds or change the ones you are on. I am not sure it would be very helpful or not. Do you grind your teeth during the day, too? If so it is probably the Wellbutrin. Klonopin would help. Buspar hits a lot of receptors and might interfere with how your Celexa is working.
