750mg Lithium
25mcg Synthroid
150mg Buproprion
5mg Lexapro
15mg Ambien
.5mg AtivanIt's my second week on the low dose of Lexapro bc the side effect of having a busy mouth was a problem. It remains a problem. I devote a great deal of time probing my teeth with my tongue. Today I have taken just the Buproprion and I'm leaving my teeth alone but continuously suck the moisture out of my mouth. I would like to go forward and lead my life without these distractions.
The doctor had considered combining Prozac with the Buproprion. Does Prozac make you do these mouth things?
I'm kind of playing beat the clock as I'm working with a doctor who is about to finish his residency at which time I will have to figure out how often I will be able to afford seeing him (I've had free weekly therapy for the past year.)

I've been taking low doses of lexapro and not sure what you mean by busy mouth from it? Is the synthroid to keep thyroid from becoming hypo from lithium? Phillipa

Phillipa
If you have ever had a rough spot on a tooth and your tongue kept going to it--that's what my tongue does with my whole mouth and then i get obsessed that there are things stuck between my teeth when there aren't. That's the only way I can describe it. It's very annoying.

Eleanor same problem with always feeling things stuck between my teeth always flossing. Teeth too close together. It kind of sounds like a compulsive habit also. I don't know? Is the wellbutrin to activating? Phillipa

i think its common for sris to worsen ocd before it improves. i think improvements come later, ~12 weeks i think.

I have no experience with Prozac. Might it be a good replacement for the Lexapro?
