In reply to Nardil - Side Effects, posted by Phoenix1 on January 29, 2008, at 16:06:14
Hi,
The jaw clinching will lessen over time. I take 2mg of clonazepam, which lessens this symptom among other things; helps with social and generalized anxiety, helps with insomnia when combined with 25mg of Seroquel.I've read that some use Buspar for the condition. I have no personal experience with this medication.
Good Luck,

> Now that I'm at 75mg of Nardil, I'm noticing a new set of side effects. Specifically, very frequent uncontrollable yawning (without sleepiness) and jaw muscle tightness and clenching. I remember this as a side effect I had with most of the SSRI's, even at lower doses. Is this an indication of too much serotonin, or mild serotonin syndrome? It has been persistent for a week.

I'm a little afraid to talk much to my pdoc about side effects (especially if I feel they are minor) because he is only reluctantly prescribing the Nardil. I always feel that he is looking for a reason to stop it or lower the dosage. But it is working SO well for me.
