View Full Version : I have been prescribed Sertraline
I have read the side effects, one of which can be teeth grinding(bruxism), this is part of my condition which is TMJ disorder/anxiety/PTSD(formerly,although starting to recur)
I have also read that teeth grinding is common in ssri's.
Have any of you experienced this as a side effect? or had it come on upon withdrawal?
Hi, Trapped!
I've been on Sertraline since last summer and have noticed that I seem to clench my teeth more, rather than actual grinding.
Thanks, although of course not what I want to hear but I appreciate your honesty.:hugs:
Bumping this up cos I am supposed to take the first one later......
Hi trapped i started on sertraline 4 days ago and i havent had this side effect, ive got a slight increase in anxiety but its manageable. Good luck and dont dwell on the side effects too much the apprehension is much worse than what its really like :) x
hi there
iv een on sertraline for 4 yrs and i love them. i do grind my teeth but i used to do that anyway, my dentist usd to tell me off when i was little ha ha, so couldnt tell u if was the tabs or not. give them a go its worth it
i think teeht grinding is an anxious thing tho anyway
good luck
i think teeth grinding is to do with being anxious and panicy, i have done it for years, mainly in my sleep. my dentist wants me to wear a bite guard at nite!!:)
this is part of my condition which is TMJ
mine is a bit more than teeth grinding I have TMJ disorder which is one of the things he is prescribing it for.....
Thanks for your replies guys.

When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse, out of the corner of my eye, I turned to look and it was gone............:weep:
Is that a pink flyoyd song comfortably numb?

Yes, it is :) i feel that during my childhood there were some times when things were good that could have lead to a normal life......... but it was fleeting and when i turned to look/engage invariably it was gone.........
So I took half a tablet (25) on thursday night and another half last night, I am back to waking feeling scared witless after about 4 hours and feelings of panic, however, I shall take a whole one tonight and see what happens.........
