In reply to Bruxism, Clonazepam, Buspar, posted by Toast on October 28, 2002, at 11:49:25
Currently I'm on 1mg of Clonazepam at night for bruxism. It works but my pdoc wants me to consider switching to Topamax or Neurontin for the Bruxism. I'm not sure these meds will work yet he has made some strong arguments against using the Clonazepam for a long-term solution.
I don't know. I'm on this journey like everyone else. I'm hoping for the best.

> I have had panic attacks for many years, accompanied by bruxism (this is non SSRI induced). I guess its just from being really stressed out. I am knew to the medication world and am trying to find things that work.

I still haven't seen much luck with getting rid of the bruxism. I do wear a night guard and that helps with the headaches, etc. It seems to be a stubborn case of bruxism.
