Hi all,
I recently (4 weeks ish ago) started taking Sertraline 50mg from anxiety/depression problems. I think the medication caused me to grind my teeth, or something did...and I gave myself a sore side of the tongue which went slightly white like a lesion (not painful but irritable). After a few days it started to fade and I couldn't notice it at all but kept looking, then it came back again, but some days I can barely tell it's there. I'm conscious my sharp tooth keeps catching that area and irritating it (recently had a filling done and it's sharp!). I was not sure if it's in my head but I was terrified it was mouth cancer of course.
I went to the doctor yesterday and explained the symptoms and he had a look and said it was nothing sinister, just a typical sign of some trauma that will go down. But it keeps coming and going.
I'm still so worried. Why isn't doctor reassurance enough for me anymore? Ugh.
Jack.
