In reply to Sore tongue, posted by Miss Honeychurch on April 19, 2005, at 14:57:55
As I type this, I'm feeling the pain too! I have a bad habit of gnawing on the side of my cheek or my tongue during my sleep. I've also broken the same tooth over and over again by grinding my teeth. In fact, I have a dentist appt. tomorrow. There is a mouthguard that you can get but it doesn't help much if you nap during the day and forget to put it in.
Klonopin seems to reduce it when taken before bed. However, if I've had any alcohol that evening I skip the Klonopin and head to bed -- usually without the guard. Needless to say, I wakeup in pain.
I wish you luck in finding help.
