In reply to Effexor and Jaw Clinching, posted by curdawg on February 24, 2005, at 18:50:24
hi
i'd been taking 225 effexor for 5 months. i noticed that upon waking up my jaw was totally clenched shut and same goes today (although i've been dropped to 150) but then i'm fine throughout the day. i did experience headache as well and the clenched jaw thing is a noted side effect. dunno...if it's that unbearable then i guess u hafta switch. i thought effexor was helping me but now i've so many other things in the mix its so hard to tell what is and what's not working.
i've never been on lexapro tho so i can't really help you there unfortunately...> I'm corrently on 225mg of Effexor XR and over the past 3 to 4 weeks I've started clinching my teeth to the point of headaches,jaw & teeth pain and shape shooting pains in my eyes.I talk with my doctor and he wants to switch me over to 20mg Lexapro,will this reduces or eliminate the s/es.
